He did not like the grown-ups who talked down to him, but the ones who went on talking in their usual way, leaving him to leap along in their wake, jumping at meanings, guessing, clutching at known words, and chuckling at complicated jokes as they suddenly dawned. He had the glee of the porpoise then, pouring and leaping through strange seas.

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

The destiny of man is to unite, not to divide.
