…the things that we have and that we think are so solid—they’re like smoke, and time is like the sky that the smoke disappears into.

– Tarkington, The Magnificent Ambersons

Ugly I am but never forget that I AM a god! The highest should serve, but so long as you worship me for my own sake I will not serve you. It is man who makes me ugly, by his worship of me. If man would let me serve him, I should be beautiful!

– Booth Tarkington on the god “progress” in The Turmoil

Stop, listen and feel.
