Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Causes of Social Revolt: A Lecture, Delivered in London, Portsmouth, Bradford, Nottingham, Derby, and Greenwich "The chiefest authors of revolutions have been not the chimerical and intemperate friends of progress, but the blind obstructors of progress; those who, in defiance of nature, struggle to avert the inevitable future, to recall the irrevocable past; who chafe to fury, by damming up its course, the river, which would otherwise flow calmly between its banks, which has ever flowed, and which, do what they will, must flow for ever." - Goldwin Smith. "The English have thus become, in a certain sense, of all people the most inaccessible to ideas, and the most impatient of them... There has followed from hence, in this country, somewhat of a general depression of pure intelligence. Philistia has come to be thought by us as the true Land of Promise, and it is anything but that; the born lover of ideas, the born hater of commonplaces, must feel in this country that the sky over his head is of brass and iron. - "Essays in Criticism." By Matthew Arnold. "Ce n´est pas I´erreur qui s´oppose aux progrès de la vérité. Ce sont la mollesse, I´entetement, l´esprit de routine, tout ce qui porte a l´inaction." - Turgot. "For my own part, I can only say, that I have had occasion to read many thousand letters written by diplomatists and politicians, and I have hardly ever found an instance of one of them who understood the spirit and tendency of the age in which he lived." - Buckle.
