If nations always moved from one set of furnished rooms to another -- and always into a better set -- things might be easier, but the trouble is that there is no one to prepare the new rooms. the future is worse than the ocean -- there is nothing there. it will be what men and circumstances make it.

I always make a big effort to make a distinction between what is actually worse or what is just worse about not being 21. of course, it's much worse not to be 21. this is a given. but there are things that are worse.
