Schism in the soul, schism in the body social, will not be resolved by any scheme to return to the good old days (archaism), or by programs guaranteed to render an ideal projected future (futurism), or even by the most realistic, hardheaded work to weld together again the deteriorating elements [of civilization]. Only birth can conquer death―the birth, not of the old thing again, but of something new. ↗

And if you live up to it, it will be an awful waste. If you expect that, you will be limiting yourself. ↗

But it is hazardous and, I believe, counterproductive to become frozen in time by an obsession with past wrongs and errors. ↗
