Has Beens Quotes

“The direction of society has been taken over by a type of man who is not interested in the principles of civilisation.

“The idea of duty, that recognition of something to be lived for beyond the mere satisfaction of self, is to the moral life what the addition of a great central ganglion is to animal life.
