—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“I am walking over hot coals suspended over a deep pit at the bottom of which are a large number of vipers baring their fangs.”

“The English are a nation of consummate cant.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“The Americans are violently oral.... That’s why in America the mother is all-important and the father has no position at all—isn’t respected in the least.
