    “Fame will go by and, so long, I’ve had you, fame. If it goes by, I’ve always known it was fickle. So at least it’s something I experienced, but that’s not where I live.”
    —Marilyn Monroe (1926–1962)

    “In the years of the Roman Republic, before the Christian era, Roman education was meant to produce those character traits that would make the ideal family man. Children were taught primarily to be good to their families. To revere gods, one’s parents, and the laws of the state were the primary lessons for Roman boys. Cicero described the goal of their child rearing as “self- control, combined with dutiful affection to parents, and kindliness to kindred.””
    —C. John Sommerville (20th century)

    “The reason is:
    rats leave the sinking ship
    but we . . .
    we . . .
    didn’t leave,
    so the ship
    didn’t sink,
    and that’s madness,
    Lear’s song
    that’s Touchstone’s forest jest,
    that’s swan of Avon logic.”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
