“Here was the astounding fact: the race did go forward; the race did achieve; and in every way the race grew better. Progress through irrational and astounding blunders, whose outrageousness bedwarfed the wildest cliches of romance, was what Kennaston found everywhere. All this, then, also was foreplanned, just as all happenings at Storisende had been, in his puny romance; and the puppets, here to, moved as they thought of their own volition, but really in order to serve a denouement in which many of them had not any personal part or interest...” WayFactsRomanceOrderFoundInterestRaceProgressAchieveGrewHappeningsMovedIrrationalClichePuppetsBlundersVolitionDenouement Author:James Branch Cabell

“Our answer is the world's hope; it is to rely on youth. The cruelties and the obstacles of this swiftly changing planet will not yield to obsolete dogmas and outworn slogans. It cannot be moved by those who cling to a present which is already dying, who prefer the illusion of security to the excitement and danger which comes with even the most peaceful progress. This world demands the qualities of youth: not a time of life but a state of mind, a temper of the will, a quality of imagination, a predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the life of ease...” WorldMindStatesImaginationAnswersQualityProgressDyingSecurityDangerThis WorldYouthPlanetsAdventureDemandIllusionMovedObstaclesCrueltyPeacefulEaseExcitementRelyYieldAppetiteState Of MindTemperDogmaSlogansObsoleteTimidity Author:Robert Kennedy
