Excerpt from Life's Minor Collisions Collisions are measured by what they will smash. Potentially, all collisions are major. A slight blow will explode a bomb. But since most of us do not commonly carry dynamite through the busy sections of this life, we can take a good many brisk knocks and still survive. The collisions, though dealt with in separate chapters by two of us, are sel dom between two people alone. They are collisions, mostly minor, between the individual and the group, the in dividual and circumstances, the indi vidual and the horse he rides on. All the chapters are for those kin dred spirits who try to be easy to live with and find it difficult. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
