Walter...Darling

"Down in the valley people are caught up in a world ruled by custom and by the sort of pressures that turn even art and faith into merchandise. All too often they lead lives of quiet desperation in a desert of selfishness and apathy...........

..........No, I said to my self, no world could ever be beautiful where the emotions of fear and enthusiasm only terrify the majority of people............

........Too many of them are concerned only with sparing themselves and their own feelings"
