    A sort of war of revenge on the intellect is what, for some reason, thrives in the contemporary social atmosphere.
    —Wyndham Lewis (1882–1957)

    He wrote in prison, not a History of the World, like Raleigh, but an American book which I think will live longer than that. I do not know of such words, uttered under such circumstances, and so copiously withal, in Roman or English or any history.
