They may loathe and despise one another, quarrel, weep, and commit mayhem, but they are not free to divorce.

—John Cheever (1912–1982)
“I would rather have peace in the world than be President.”
—Harry S. Truman (1884–1972)

A shadow fleeting; she is never plain.
She is a visitor who leaves behind
The gift of grief, the souvenir of pain.”
—Robert Nathan (1894–1985)
“Against the Word the unstilled world still whirled
About the center of the silent Word.”
