“A man will not need to study history to find out what is best for his own culture.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I would rather have as my patron a host of anonymous citizens digging into their own pockets for the price of a book or a magazine than a small body of enlightened and responsible men administering public funds.

—John Updike (b. 1932)
