    “We are not naïve enough to ask for pure men; we ask merely for men whose impurity does not conflict with the obligations of their job.”
    —Jean Rostand (1894–1977)

    “It is a life-and-death conflict between all those grand, universal, man-respecting principles which we call by the comprehensive term democracy, and all those partial, person-respecting, class-favoring elements which we group together under that silver-slippered word aristocracy. If this war does not mean that, it means nothing.”
    —Antoinette Brown Blackwell (1825–1921)

    “What is there in Rome for me to see that others have not seen before me? What is there for me to touch that others have not touched? What is there for me to feel, to learn, to hear, to know, that shall thrill me before it pass to others? What can I discover?—Nothing. Nothing whatsoever. One charm of travel dies here.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
