Quote

From a letter from Mill to Tocqueville (my own translation, so I can't really tell if it's accurate):

"I expect it [the second volume of Democracy in America] with impatience, for the lights that it will spread on the questions in my own spirit, for the good that it will have for our century and for the time to come, and for the interest that I have in your glory."

I clearly need a Mill to write me letters like this; then, I would finish my dissertation in no time at all.
