The capacity to deny, to remain innocent, to use belief as a protection against sophistication of every sort---intellectual, aesthetic, moral, psychological---keeps the American character from awakening. The American character remains blind to the fact that the virtues of mediocrity---those pieties of disciplined energy, order, self-control, probity and faith---are themselves messengers of the devil they would overcome."
