“The momentary charge at Balaklava, in obedience to a blundering command, proving what a perfect machine the soldier is, has, properly enough, been celebrated by a poet laureate; but the steady, and for the most part successful, charge of this man, for some years, against the legions of Slavery, in obedience to an infinitely higher command, is as much more memorable than that as an intelligent and conscientious man is superior to a machine. Do you think that that will go unsung?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Expensive advertising courts us with hints and images. The ordinary kind merely says, “Buy.””
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“The apparent ease of California life is an illusion, and those who believe the illusion will live here in only the most temporary way.”
