The light at the end of the tunnel is the headlight of an approaching
train.
The law will never make men free; it is men who have got to make the
law free.
-- Henry David Thoreau
For an idea to be fashionable is ominous, since it must afterwards be
always old-fashioned.
A priest asked: What is Fate, Master?
And the Master answered:
It is that which gives a beast of burden its reason for existence.
It is that which men in former times had to bear upon their backs.
It is that which has caused nations to build byways from City to City
upon which carts and coaches pass, and alongside which inns have come
to be built to stave off Hunger, Thirst and Weariness.
And that is Fate? said the priest.
Fate ... I thought you said Freight, responded the Master.
That's all right, said the priest. I wanted to know what Freight was
too.
