“It has always seemed strange to me…The things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling, are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest, are the traits of success. And while men admire the quality of the first they love the produce of the second.”

Last Year’s Words
“For last year’s words belong to last year’s language
And next year’s words await another voice.
And to make an end is to make a beginning.”
And next year’s words await another voice.
And to make an end is to make a beginning.”
