"Men differ in their perceptive capacity chiefly in their ability to see movement. All of us can see what is static and at rest. It is the gifted eye that discerns the pattern and rhythm of the motions in a complex drama of forces. As a musician, listening to a fugue, can continue it in his imagination if the players suddenly stop, so a student of contemporary affairs, if he have instinct as well as training, should be able to divine the future course of a movement."
— H. N. Brailsford, a leading British social thinker.
