The race will find that capitalists and communists modify themselves so much during the ages that they end by being indistinguishable as democrats.

Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting. Learning is the only thing for you. Look what a lot of things there are to learn.
T. H. White
