Original publication date
1942
First words
It is easy for man, especially when well fed, to shut himself up in the cloistered security of the familiar and the commonplace, to build walls of prejudice and custom around the hearth stone of his personal existence, and so... (show all) to live under the pleasant illusion that his  comfortable little world is the world, and that everything beyond his knowledge and his interest is of little consequence.
Quotations
The world of illusion is a pleasant one, so long as nothing disturbs our dreams.
