    Anna Quindlen (b. 1953)

    A virgin from her tender infancy,
    Chaste and immaculate in very thought.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    The philosopher’s conception of things will, above all, be truer than other men’s, and his philosophy will subordinate all the circumstances of life. To live like a philosopher is to live, not foolishly, like other men, but wisely and according to universal laws.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
