“...there was little that was truly original or indigenous to Gilead. Its genius was synthesis.”
“Tell me truly, I implore-- Is there-- is there balm in Gilead?--tell me--tell me, I implore!”
“I believe in the end...the final synthesis will be that it was our generation with our undying love and concern for all of humanity...that truly conquered all!”
“But life at its best is a creative synthesis of opposites in fruitful harmony.”
“A genius is a genius, regardless of the number of morons who belong to the same race - and a moron is a moron, regardless of the number of geniuses who share his racial origin.”
“Those who truly walk the line between genius and madness are truly alone.”
