I have never been able to find in any man’s book or any man’s talk anything convincing enough to stand up for a moment against my deep-seated sense of fatality governing this man-inhabited world….The only remedy for Chinamen and for the rest of us is the change of hearts. But looking at the history of the last 2000 years there is not much reason to expect that thing, even if man has taken to flying…. Man doesn’t fly like an eagle, he flies like a beetle.
