Man will become immeasurably stronger, wiser, and subtler; his body will become more harmonious, his movements more rhythmic, his ...voice more musical. The forms of life will become dynamically dramatic. The average human type will rise to the heights of an Aristotle, a Goethe, or a Marx. And above these heights, new peaks will rise.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

Apart from their other characteristics, the outstanding thing about China's 600 million people is that they are "poor and blank." ...This may seem a bad thing, but in reality it is a good thing. Poverty gives rise to the desire for change, the desire for action and the desire for revolution. On a blank sheet of paper free from any mark, the freshest and most beautiful pictures can be painted.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Our American institutions have been friendly to her, and at this moment, I esteem it a chief felicity of this country, that it exc...els in women.
