as the light of a happy eye, live with the grace
of all that in the mind is fleckless, free and
naturally to be desired.”
—William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)
“If goodness were only a theory, it were a pity it should be lost to the world. There are a number of things, the idea of which is a clear gain to the mind.

—William Hazlitt (1778–1830)
