If there is any period one would desire to be born in, is it not the age of Revolution; when the old and the new stand side by side ... when the glories of the old can be compensated by the rich possibilities of the new era? This time ... is a very good one.

It is hard to go beyond your public. If they are satisfied with cheap performance, you will not easily arrive at better. If they know what is good, and require it. you will aspire and burn until you achieve it. But from time to time, in history, men are born a whole age too soon…
This time, like all times, is a very good one, if we but know what to do with it.

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882)
In conversation the game is, to say something new with old words. And you shall observe a man of the people picking his way along, step by step, using every time an old boulder, yet never setting his foot on an old place.
