    “The world leaves no track in space, and the greatest action of man no mark in the vast idea.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “If all feeling for grace and beauty were not extinguished in the mass of mankind at the actual moment, such a method of locomotion as cycling could never have found acceptance; no man or woman with the slightest aesthetic sense could assume the ludicrous position necessary for it.”
    —Ouida [Marie Louise De La Ramée] (1839–1908)

    “Some burn damp faggots, others may consume
    The entire combustible world in one small room
    As though dried straw, and if we turn about
    The bare chimney is gone black out
    Because the work had finished in that flare.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
