“OUR NATION SEEMS TO FACE UNPRECEDENTED CHALLENGES.
IF YOU ARE TEMPTED TO LOSE HOPE.
READ AMERICAN AWAKENING.”
ArThur BROOKS
“THIS BOOK EXISTS BECAUSE THE TRADITIONAL AMERICAN CONSCIOUSNESS THAT JOHN EMBODIES HAS TO BE REMADE.
NOT DISCARDED. REMADE.”
David BRooks & ANNE SNYDER
If we take the widest and wisest view of a Cause, there is no such thing as a Lost Cause because there is no such thing as a Gained Cause. We fight for lost causes because we know that our defeat and dismay may be the preface to our successors’ victory, though that victory itself will be temporary; we fight rather to keep something alive than in the expectation that anything will triumph.
