In themselves, space and time consist of _nothing_. They are hypostatized
concepts born of the discriminating activity of the conscious mind, and

Other ages have had their individual traitors---men who from
faint-heartedness or hope of gain sold out their causes. But in the 20th

vocation whose modern form was specifically the treason of ideas.
-- Whittaker Chambers
