—Robin Morgan (b. 1941)
“It was evident that the same foolish respect was not here claimed for mere wealth and station that is in many parts of New England; yet some of them were the “first people,” as they are called, of the various towns through which we passed.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“He’ll make a proper man.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
