Ideals are an imaginative understanding of that which is desirable in that which is possible.
Walter LippmannWe are all captives of the picture in our head - our belief that the world we have experienced is the world that really exists.
Walter LippmannWhere mass opinion dominates the government, there is a morbid derangement of the true functions of power. The derangement brings about the enfeeblement, verging on paralysis, of the capacity to govern. This breakdown in the constitutional order is the cause of the precipitate and catastrophic decline of Western society. It may, if it cannot be arrested and reversed, bring about the fall of the West.
