    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Brigid: You’re not ...
    Sam Spade: Yes, angel. I’m gonna send you over. But chances are you’ll get off with life. That means if you’re a good girl you’ll get out in twenty years. I’ll be waiting for you. If they hang you, I’ll always remember you.

    Consider what you have in the smallest chosen library. A company of the wisest and wittiest men that could be picked out of all civil countries in a thousand years have set in best order the results of their learning and wisdom. The men themselves were hid and inaccessible, solitary, impatient of interruption, fenced by etiquette; but the thought which they did not uncover in their bosom friend is here written out in transparent words to us, the strangers of another age.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
