"The world is too big for us. Too much is going on. Too many crimes. Too much violence and
excitement. Try as you will, you get behind in the race in spite of yourself. It's a constant
strain to keep pace --- and still, you lose ground. Science empties its discoveries on you so
fast that you stagger beneath them in hopeless bewilderment. The political world now
changes so rapidly you’re out of breath trying to keep pace with who’s in and who’s out.
Everything is high pressure. Human nature can’t endure much more!” (June 16, 1833)
