If we do this, we shall not only have saved the Union; but we shall have so saved it, as to make, and to keep it, forever worthy of the saving. We shall have so saved it, that the succeeding millions of free happy people, the world over, shall rise up, and call us blessed, to the latest generations.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

—Jessamyn West (1907–1984)
“The shelf life of the modern hardback writer is somewhere between the milk and the yoghurt.”
