Morality
"Perhaps discipline will be restored in our civilization through the military training required by the challenges of war. The freedom of the part varies with the security of the whole; individualism will diminish in America and England as geographical protection ceases. Sexual license may cure itself through its own excesses; our unmoored children may live to see order and modesty become fashionable; clothing more stimulating that nudity. Meanwhile much of our moral freedom is good: it is pleasant to be relived of theological terrors, to enjoy without qualm the pleasures that harm neither others nor ourselves, and to fee the tang of the open air upon our liberated flesh."- Will and Ariel Durant The Lessons of History.
