"But to me the future is still black and blank - is a vast ignorance, lit at a few casual places by the memory of his story." (P.108)

"Mas para mim o futuro ainda é preto e branco - é uma vasta ignorância, iluminada em alguns lugares casuais pela lembrança de sua história." (P.108)

"[...] even when mind and strength has gone, gratitude and a mutual tenderness still lived on in the heart of the man." (P.108)

"[...] mesmo quando a mente e a força se foram, a gratidão e uma ternura mútua ainda viviam no coração do homem." (P.108)

"Its a law of nature we overlook, that intellectual versatility is the compensation for change, danger, and trouble. An animal perfectly in harmony with its environment is a perfect mechanism. Nature never appeals to intelligence where there is no change and no need of change. Only those animals partake of intelligence that have to meet a huge variety of needs and dangers." (P. 91)

"I grieved to think how brief the dream of the human intellect had been. It had commited suicide. It had set itself steadfastly towards comfort and ease, a balanced society with security and performency as its watchword, it had atteined its hopes - to come to this at last. Once, life and property must have reached almost absolut safety. The rich had been assured of his wealth and comfort, the toiler assured of his life and work. No doubt in that perfect world there had been no unempoyed problem, no social question left unesolved. And a great quiet had folowed." (P.90 - 91)
