“A man must be clothed with society, or we shall feel a certain bareness and poverty, as of a displaced and unfurnished member.

—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Each of the Arts whose office is to refine, purify, adorn, embellish and grace life is under the patronage of a Muse, no god being found worthy to preside over them.”
—Eliza Farnham (1815–1864)
“How has the human spirit ever survived the terrific literature with which it has had to contend?”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
