„Now they saw information technology — its newness, its raw crudeness, and its strength — and turned their shuddering eyes away. "Requite us back our well-worn husk," they said, "where we were then snug and comfortable." And so they tried word magic. "Weather condition are fundamentally sound," they said — past which they meant to reassure themselves that nothing now was really inverse, that things were equally they ever had been, and as they always would be, forever and always, amen. But they were incorrect. They did not know that you can't go home once again. America had come to the end of something and to the starting time of something else. But no i knew what that something else would be and out of the alter and uncertainly and the wrongness of the leaders grew fear and desperation and earlier long hunger stalked the streets. Through it all there was still only one certainty, though no ane saw it even so. America was still America, and whatever new matter came of it would be American."

I remember the life which nosotros accept fashioned in America, and which has fashioned the states — the forms we fabricated, the cells that grew, the honeycomb that was created — was cocky-subversive in its nature, and must exist destroyed. I think these forms are dying, and must die, just every bit I know that America and the people in information technology are deathless, undiscovered, and immortal, and must live."

„Few buildings are vast enough to hold the audio of fourth dimension, and now it seemed to George that there was a superb fitness in the fact that the 1 which held information technology better than all others should exist a railroad station. For here, as nowhere else on earth, men were brought together for a moment at the showtime or finish of their innumerable journeys, hither one saw their greetings and farewells, here, in a single instant, ane got the entire motion-picture show of the human destiny. Men came and went, they passed and vanished, and all were moving through the moments of their lives to death, all made modest tickings in the sound of time--but the vocalization of fourth dimension remained aloof and unperturbed, a drowsy and eternal murmur beneath the immense and distant roof."

I think the true discovery of our own democracy is still before us. And I think that all these things are certain as the forenoon, as inevitable as noon. I think I speak for about men living when I say that our America is Here, is Now, and beckons on before us, and that this glorious assurance is not but our living hope, but our dream to exist accomplished."

„I retrieve the enemy is here before us, too. But I think we know the forms and faces of the enemy, and in the knowledge that we know him, and shall meet him, and somewhen must conquer him is also our living hope. I think the enemy is here before us with a thousand faces, only I think we know that all his faces wear one mask. I think the enemy is single selfishness and compulsive greed. I recall the enemy is bullheaded, only has the brutal power of his blind grab. I do not call back the enemy was built-in yesterday, or that he grew to manhood forty years ago, or that he suffered sickness and collapse in 1929, or that nosotros began without the enemy, and that our vision faltered, that we lost the style, and all of a sudden were in his camp. I think the enemy is old every bit Time, and evil as Hell, and that he has been here with united states of america from the beginning. I call back he stole our earth from us, destroyed our wealth, and ravaged and despoiled our country. I recall he took our people and enslaved them, that he polluted the fountains of our life, took unto himself the rarest treasures of our ain possession, took our bread and left usa with a crust, and, not content, for the nature of the enemy is insatiate--tried finally to take from usa the crust."
