“Never has our future been more unpredictable, never have we depended so much on political forces that cannot be trusted to follow the rules of common sense and self-interest—forces that look like sheer insanity, if judged by the standards of other centuries.

“If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Then quit. No use being a damn fool about it.”
