    You shall love peace as a means to new wars—and the short peace more than the long one.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    I found that they knew but little of the history of their race, and could be entertained by stories about their ancestors as readily as any way.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Nor should she be too rich, because the rich
    Are driven by wealth as beggars by the itch,”
    Beggar to beggar cried, being frenzy-struck,
    “And cannot have a humorous happy speech.”
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Great lovers lie in Hell, the stubborn ones
    Infatuate of the flesh upon the bones;
    Stuprate, they rend each other when they kiss,
    The pieces kiss again, no end to this.
    John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)
