“The moral ascendancy of equality has made it difficult to use concepts such as virtue, excellence, beauty and – above all – truth.”
Richard J. Herrnstein, The Bell Curve: Intelligence and Class Structure in American Life

Charles McCarry
“No wonder the summer solstice had been such a fun day in northern Europe before Christian missionaries arrived from the sunny south.
