How to live had started out as an analytical problem of how to place himself so as to intercept the flow of money in the society.
Arthur MillerPathos truly is the mode for the pessimist. But tragedy requires a nicer balance between what is possible and what is impossible.

In them, and in them alone, lies the belief-optimistic, if you will, in the perfectibility of man.
