“Secret retributions are always restoring the level, when disturbed, of the divine justice. It is impossible to tilt the beam. All the tyrants and proprietors and monopolists of the world in vain set their shoulders to heave the bar. Settles forever more the ponderous equator to it’s line, and man and mote, and star and sun, must range to it, or be pulverized by the recoil.”
-Ralph Waldo Emerson “The Sovereignty of Ethics,” as cited by William James in The Varieties of Religious Experience, and Thomas Pynchon in Vineland
