    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “The proposed Constitution ... is, in strictness, neither a national nor a federal constitution; but a composition of both.”
    —James Madison (1751–1836)

    “The composition of a tragedy requires testicles.”
    —Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)
