    the San Marco Library,
    Whence turbulent Italy should draw

    By sucking at the dugs of Greece.

    Socialism can only arrive by bicycle.
    —José Antonio Viera Gallo (b. 1943)

    No: until I want the protection of Massachusetts to be extended to me in some distant Southern port, where my liberty is endangered, or until I am bent solely on building up an estate at home by peaceful enterprise, I can afford to refuse allegiance to Massachusetts, and her right to my property and life. It costs me less in every sense to incur the penalty of disobedience to the State than it would to obey. I should feel as if I were worth less in that case.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    How could a man be satisfied with a decision between such alternatives and under such circumstances? No more than he can be satisfied with his hat, which he’s chosen from among such shapes as the resources of the age offer him, wearing it at best with a resignation which is chiefly supported by comparison.
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)

    Family living can go on existing. Very many are
    remembering this thing are remembering that family
    living living can go on existing. Very many are quite
    certain that family living can go on existing. Very
    many are remembering that they are quite certain that
    family living can go on existing.
    Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)

    My center is giving way, my right is in retreat; situation excellent. I shall attack.
    Ferdinand Foch (1851–1929)
