    “The advice of their elders to young men is very apt to be as unreal as a list of the hundred best books.”
    —Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. (1841–1935)

    “Every morning I woke in dread, waiting for the day nurse to go on her rounds and announce from the list of names in her hand whether or not I was for shock treatment, the new and fashionable means of quieting people and of making them realize that orders are to be obeyed and floors are to be polished without anyone protesting and faces are to be made to be fixed into smiles and weeping is a crime.”
    —Janet Frame (b. 1924)

    “To warm their little Loves the Birds complain:”
    —Thomas Gray (1716–1771)

    “It is often said that Poland is a country where there is anti-semitism and no Jews, which is pathology in its purest state.”
    —Bronislaw Geremek (b. 1932)
