Charles Ives confusedmusiclying We talk about spreading democracy and freedom all over the world, but they are to us words rather than conditions. We haven't even got them here in America, and the farther we get into this war the farther we get away from democracy and freedom. Where is it leading us to, and when will it end?

Enlightenment is permanent because we have not produced it; we have merely discovered it.
