Calvin Coolidge - Google Books

Calvin Coolidge by David Greenberg

Quote:
On Monday, June 30, the president's two sons were playing tennis on the White House courts, when sixteen-year-old Calvin Jr., wearing sneakers but no socks, developed a blood blister on the middle toe of his right foot. Two days later, the boy began to feel week and tired. White House doctors examined him. A 102-degree fever, swollen glands, and red streaks on his leg suggested a bacteria infection. The next day, tests confirmed that a staphylococcus had poisoned his bloodstream.

Chaos isn't a pit. Chaos is a ladder. Many who try to climb it fail and never get to try again. The fall breaks them. And some, given a chance to climb, they refuse. They cling to the realm, or the gods, or love. Illusions.

Only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is.
