Quote by Finley Peter Dunne

The world is not growing worse and it is not growing better -- it is just turning around as usual.

The world is not growing worse and it is not growing better

Summary

This quote highlights the cyclical nature of the world's progress or regression. It suggests that the overall state of the world remains constant, neither improving nor deteriorating. Instead, it implies that the world experiences ups and downs, repeating similar patterns throughout history. This perspective challenges the notion of linear progress, indicating that the world unfolds in a continuous cycle of events rather than in a linear trajectory of improvement or decline.

People aren't born good or bad. Maybe they're born with tendencies either way, but it's the way you live your life that matters. And the people you know. Valentine was Hodge's friend, and I don't think Hodge really had anyone else in his life to challenge him or make him be a better person. If I'd had that life, I don't know how I would have turned out. But I didn't. I have my family. And I have you.
