PRETENDING TO BE FREE: OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES AS A VICTORIAN REVOLUTIONARY

Abstract

Certitude is not the test of certainty. We have been each sure of many things that were not so….  Property, friendship, and truth have a common root in time. One cannot be wrenched from the rocky crevices into which one has grown for many years without the feeling that one is attached in one’s life. Oliver Wendell Holmes.
