—Russell Baker (20th century)
“Socialism can only arrive by bicycle.”
—José Antonio Viera Gallo (b. 1943)
“A man’s destination is his own village,
His own cooking fire, and his wife’s cooking;
To sit in front of his own door at sunset
And see his grandson, and his neighbour’s grandson
Playing in the dust together.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
