"I'm not sure he's wrong about automobiles....With all their speed forward they may be a step backward in civilization—that is, in spiritual civilization. It may be that they will not add to the beauty of the world, nor to the life of men's souls....But automobiles have come, and they bring a greater change in our life than most of us expect."
The Magnificent Ambersons (1918) by Booth Tarkington |
