Summary

This quote suggests that dreams, like the metaphorical armored cars, provide us with a sense of protection and invincibility, allowing us to explore and venture into risky endeavors. Dreams act as a safeguard, emboldening us to undertake dangerous or challenging acts that we might not otherwise attempt. They serve as a catalyst for taking risks, pushing boundaries, and pursuing ambitious goals, all while providing us with a sense of security and courage to navigate the uncertainties of life.

Many causes produce war. There are ancient hatreds, turbulent frontiers, the legacy of old forgotten, far-off things, and battles long ago. There are new-born fanaticisms. Convictions on the part of certain peoples that they have become the unique depositories of ultimate truth and right.
