I Do Not Believe In Belief.

...though Nothing Is Damaged, Everything Is Changed.

I Believe In Teaching People To Be Individuals, And To Understand Other Individuals.

But Humanity, In Its Desire For Comfort, Had Over-reached Itself. It Had Exploited The Riches Of Nature Too Far. Quietly And Complacently, It Was Sinking Into Decadence, And Progress Had Come To Mean The Progress Of The Machine.

By The Side Of The Everlasting Why There Is A Yes--a Transitory Yes If You Like, But A Yes.

A Novel Must Give A Sense Of Permanence As Well As A Sense Of Life.
