“What makes the United States government, on the whole, more tolerable—I mean for us lucky white men—is the fact that there is so much less of government with us.... But in Canada you are reminded of the government every day. It parades itself before you.

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“For now the moon with friendless light carouses

To crush this lucent madness of the face....”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)

—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
