#case

How we all love extreme cases and apocalypses, fires, drownings, stranglings, and the rest of it. The bigger our mild, basically ethical, safe middle classes grow the more radical excitement is in demand. Mild or moderate truthfulness or accuracy seems to have no pull at all. ↗

My cousin Georgia says that boys are like gazelles. She says the get alarmed when they get close to girls. And they have to leap off into the woods like gazelles in trousers. Or have I just made that up? ↗

When one person makes an accusation, check to be sure he himself is not the guilty one. Sometimes it is those whose case is weak who make the most clamour. ↗

I think generalizations of any sort are dangerous. I'll say, if that is the case - right now it's an American issue. ↗

I am most thankful to Almighty Providence for mercies received, and determined still to press the case into public notice as a token of gratitude. ↗
