    —F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)

    —F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)

    “In every philosophical school, three thinkers succeed one another in the following way: the first produces out of himself the sap and seed, the second draws it out into threads and spins a synthetic web, and the third waits in this web for the sacrificial victims that are caught in it—and tries to live off philosophy.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “It is a life-and-death conflict between all those grand, universal, man-respecting principles which we call by the comprehensive term democracy, and all those partial, person-respecting, class-favoring elements which we group together under that silver-slippered word aristocracy. If this war does not mean that, it means nothing.”
    —Antoinette Brown Blackwell (1825–1921)
