John Dewey: “Poetry, the drama, the novel, are proofs that the problem of presentation is not insoluble.”

There are even those who hold that the presumption is always that social loss will result from agents of the public doing anything which could be done by persons in their private capacity.

Freedom presented itself as an end in itself, though it signified in fact liberation from oppression and tradition.

Nor can the liberating and confirming results of public action be construed to yield a wholesale idealization of states in contrast with other associations.

There is therefore no necessary connection between the private character of an act and its non-social or anti-social character.
