—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Oh, yes, everything’s fine. I always stop by the police station in the middle of the night to pick up my daughter.”

“All his works might well enough be embraced under the title of one of them, a good specimen brick, “On Heroes, Hero-Worship, and the Heroic in History.” Of this department he is the Chief Professor in the World’s University, and even leaves Plutarch behind.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
