The present age is essentially a sensible, reflecting age, devoid of passion, flaring up in superficial, short-lived enthusiasm and prudentially relaxing in indolence.
If we had statistics on the use of prudence from generation to generation as we have them on the consumption of liquor, we would be amazed to see the enormous quantity used these days…
I wonder if there is a person anymore who ever makes just one big stupid blunder.
-Soren Kierkegaard, “Two Ages”, 1846
