"How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy.

A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity."

Through the years Indiana has been something of tremendous importance in my life. It`s true there is something special about the place where you were raised-your hometown. I have found through the years during the times when I`ve been here in Indiana that almost every direction I look, and so many faces I see, immediately cause a picture to be formed of an event, a happening in my life that I remember well.

At times I`ve stayed away several years at a stretch, but I somehow have never felt that I was very far from here ... somehow I don`t feel that I have ever been away. - His speech at a Boy Scout Testimonial Dinner celebrating his fiftieth birthday on 20 May 1958

The people of your culture cling with fanatical tenacity to the specialness of man. They want desperately to perceive a vast gulf between man and the rest of creation. This mythology of human superiority justifies their doing whatever they please with the world, just the way Hitler's mythology of Aryan superiority justified his doing whatever he pleased with Europe. But in the end this mythology is not deeply satisfying. The Takers are a profoundly lonely people. The world for them is enemy territory, and they live in it like an army of occupation, alienated and isolated by their extraordinary specialness.
