Quotes
- “The eventual survival of the tradition is ultimately not at stake.”
- “Our freedom is hemmed in on every side. We must be grateful for what remains.”

- “We can, in fact, relive the history of taste in our own lives, the way embryos are supposed to go through the history of the evolution of a species.”
