    There is something in the unselfish and self-sacrificing love of a brute, which goes directly to the heart of him who has had frequent occasion to test the paltry friendship and gossamer fidelity of mere Man.
    Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1845)

    TRUE!—nervous—very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am; but why will you say that I am mad?
    Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)

    Mournful and never-ending remembrance.
    —Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1845)

    The nose of a mob is its imagination. By this, at any time, it can be quietly led.
    —Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1845)

    Cultural expectations shade and color the images that parents- to-be form. The baby product ads, showing a woman serenely holding her child, looking blissfully and mysteriously contented, or the television parents, wisely and humorously solving problems, influence parents-to-be.
    Ellen Galinsky (20th century)

    Lay not that flattering unction to your soul,
    That not your trespass but my madness speaks;
    It will but skin and film the ulcerous place,
    Whilst rank corruption, mining all within,
    Infects unseen.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
