"The Americans are a very peculiar people; they have a way of doing things which is entirely their own."
"I am convinced that a great revolution is at hand, and that it will be more terrible than any that has yet occurred."

"The American has no past; he has only the present and the future. He lives in a perpetual state of creation; he is forever building, forever destroying, forever renewing."
