Every epoch has its character determined by the way its population reacts to the material events which they encounter.
Alfred North WhiteheadThe art of progress is to preserve order amid change and to preserve change amid order.
Alfred North WhiteheadOur rate of progress is such that an individual human being, of ordinary length of life, will be called on to face novel situations which find no parallel in his past. The fixed person, for the fixed duties, who, in older societies was such a godsend, in the future will be a public danger.
Alfred North Whitehead
