    They give us a pair of cloth shorts twice a year for all our clothing. When we work in the sugar mills and catch our finger in the millstone, they cut off our hand; when we try to run away, they cut off our leg: both things have happened to me. It is at this price that you eat sugar in Europe.
    Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)

    Jesus loves you more than you will know.
    God bless you please, Mrs. Robinson
    Heaven holds a place for those who pray.
    —Paul Simon (b. 1941)
