Ives

Still tuning after all these years ...

"Intimidation has not turned back one transcendent thought or one valuable
idea from going where it was destined to go, and doing what it was
destined to do. It may be temporarily delayed, or its species may revert
only to propogate in a related form, but brute force (the world's greatest
idiot) has never kept the germ from its divine order. A black eye never
reformed a drunkard, a czar never stopped a free thought." -- Charles
Ives in _The Majority_ (1919)

Most sincerely,

Bob
