No period of history has ever been great or ever can be that does not act on some sort of high idealistic motives and idealism in our time has been shoved aside and we are paying the penalty for it.
It's very attractive to people to be a victim. Instead of having to think out the whole situation about history and your group and what you are doing… if you begin from the point of view of being a victim you've got it half-made. I mean intellectually.
