    “A reaction: a boat which is going against the current but which does not prevent the river from flowing on.”
    —Victor Hugo (1802–1885)

    “It is no part of the functions of the National Government to find employment for the people, and if we were to appropriate a hundred millions for his purpose, we should only be taxing 40 millions of people to keep a few thousand employed.”
    —James A. Garfield (1831–1881)

    “We are becoming like cats, slyly parasitic, enjoying an indifferent domesticity. Nice and snug in “the social” our historic passions have withdrawn into the glow of an artificial cosiness, and our half-closed eyes now seek little other than the peaceful parade of television pictures.”
    —Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)

    “Of all the bewildering things about a new country, the absence of human landmarks is one of the most depressing and disheartening.”
    —Willa Cather (1873–1947)

    “New York is more now than the sum of its people and buildings. It makes sense only as a mechanical intelligence, a transporter system for the daily absorbing and nightly redeploying of the human multitudes whose services it requires.”
    —Peter Conrad (b. 1948)

    “Without infringing on the liberty we so much boast, might we not ask our professional Mayor to call upon the smokers, have them register their names in each ward, and then appoint certain thoroughfares in the city for their use, that those who feel no need of this envelopment of curling vapor, to insure protection may be relieved from a nuisance as disgusting to the olfactories as it is prejudicial to the lungs.”
    —Harriot K. Hunt (1805–1875)
