Backcover:
I recall very sharply how, in the autumn in 1939, as I was driving on afternoon across the monotonous prairies of Texas to begin my third year in this post, it came to me like a revelation that… I did not have to go on professing the clichés of liberalism, which were becoming meaningless to me. I saw that my opinions had been formed out of a timorous regard for what was supposed to be intellectually respectable, and that I had always been looking over my shoulder to find out what certain others, whose concern with truth I was beginning to believe to be not very intense, were doing or thinking. It is a great experience to wake up at a critical juncture to the fact that one does have a free will, and that giving up the worship of false idols is a quite practicable proceeding.
—Richard M. Weaver
