"Certainly. Short-cuts to universal happiness, universal honesty, universal everything. For instance: Don't make a boy study four years for a college degree; just cut the time in half, and you've got a short-cut to education. Write it down that man is equal. That settles it.

Stone's voice rose again. "Their form and balance is their single soul; they have preserved it from century to century. This is all they live for.
