Israel Zangwill Quotes and Quotations
In how many lives does Love really play a dominant part? The average taxpayer is no more capable of a 'grand passion' than of a grand opera. Past: Our cradle, not our prison, and there is danger as well as appeal in its glamour. The past is for inspiration, not imitation; for continuation, not repetition. America is God's crucible, the great Melting-Pot where all the races of Europe are melting and reforming!... The Real American has not yet arived. He is only in the crucible, Itell you - he will be the fusion of all races, the common superman. Everything changes but change. Selfishness is the only real atheism; aspiration, unselfishness, the only real religion. |
