The Classics Take Us To The Frontier To Be Conquered

"All generations before this one have had geographical frontiers to conquer. We don't. Without a frontier we cannot become what the Founders, the explorers and the pioneers became in their extremities. Our challenges define us, our reaction to them mold and shape us...Human beings need a frontier in order to progress. Fortunately, we do have one frontier left, and it is in fact the hardest one. It is the frontier within...classics can help."
