Sister Carrie

CHAPTER VIII
2/19

He is even as wisp in the wind, moved by every breath of passion, acting now by his will and now by his instincts, erring with one, only-a creature of incalculable variability.

We have the consolation of knowing that evolution is ever in action, that the ideal is a light that cannot fail.
