And yet, people know it - people read it in the newspapers, people read that at the first attack, a hundred million Americans might be killed.

It is so much easier to rest contented with what we have already acquired than to change ever so slightly those routine but profound habits of thought and feeling which govern our life, and by which we live so blissfully.
