"I quite agree with you, my dear, that it's useless to carry on this discussion. But since Mr. Darrow's name has been brought into it, for reasons which I fail to guess, I want to tell you that you're both mistaken if you think he's not in sympathy with your marriage. If that's what Owen means to imply, the idea's a complete delusion."
They fail to act in life under the inspiration of a devotion to a great purpose. Henry D. Thoreau was right when he wrote: "The fact is, you have got to take the world on your shoulders, like Atlas, and put along with it. You will do this for an idea's sake, and your success will be in proportion to your devotion to ideas.
"Imagine if every life, at death, was worked back, and where it went wrong, where it made its calamity, and the date, put on the tombstone. Eh? What a record! Who'd dare walk through a churchyard?" Sabre's objection was, "Of course no one would ever know. Suppose your idea's correct, who's to say what a man's purpose in life was, let alone whether he'd fulfilled it?
Many a time has Martin come home to me complaining of it. We have no doubt on earth that Gippsland is a very fine place; but my brother has his idea's of dignity, you must know, and I only wish he had been more used to contradiction, you may believe me. He is a lamb by nature. And, as he says, 'Why underrate one's own country? He cannot bear to hear boasting. Well!
The silence of the vast listening forest stole forward and enveloped them. Hank broke in suddenly with his nasal voice. "I'm in favor of breaking new ground tomorrow, Doc," he observed with energy, looking across at his employer. "We don't stand a dead Dago's chance around here." "Agreed," said Cathcart, always a man of few words. "Think the idea's good."
Not all that could be done indeed; but, oh so much! "What do you think?" he said, at last. "I fancy I shall call it 'The Story of a Ship." "I think the idea's pretty good; but you won't be able to handle it for ever so long. Now I" "Would it be of any use to you? Would you care to take it? I should be proud," said Charlie, promptly.
If you did, they invariably showed a disposition to become tyrants. Gillian made allowance for this; nevertheless she had no intention of letting Magda down lightly. "I believe you were created without a soul," she informed her candidly. Magda smiled a little. "Do you know you're the second person to tell me that?" she said. "The idea's not a bit original.
The sense of desecration, of pollution, you see" he explained as if for conscience. "Oh you needn't tell me I saw them all there!" she answered. "It must have been a dreadful scene. But you DIDN'T brave them, did you?" "Brave them what are you talking about? To you that idea's incredible!" she then hopelessly sighed. But he wouldn't have this. "No, no I can imagine cases."
A man can't work and slave and compose sonatas for himself alone the idea's disgusting, piggish, worthy only of Herbert Le Breton; I must do what I can for the little queen, and for her balloon-navigating Utopian Ernest. Thank heaven, no law prevents you from loving in your own heart the one woman whom you have once loved, no matter who may chance to marry her.
As soon as they tell me an idea's new, that's enough for me...I'm down on it at once. But what I do think is that his diplomacy is often faulty. He rushes at things like a bull exactly like a bull. A little too confident always. No, if you won't think me conceited and I believe I'm a modest man you couldn't do better than come to me talk things over with me, you know.
