“If you are one of the hewers of wood and drawers of small weekly paychecks, your letters will have to contain some few items of news or they will be accounted dry stuff....

—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)

—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
“Destiny. A tyrant’s authority for crime and a fool’s excuse for failure.”
