"Even as a child, even as my blood-past was drained from me, I understood that if I were strong enough to accept it, I was being offered a second history."

Long, long ago the country bore the country-town and nourished it with her best blood. Now the giant city sucks the country dry, insatiably and incessantly demanding and devouring fresh streams of men, till it wearies and dies in the midst of an almost uninhabited waste of country.

— Oswald Spengler
