—Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. (b. 1922)
“There have been heroes for whom this world seemed expressly prepared, as if creation had at last succeeded; whose daily life was the stuff of which our dreams are made, and whose presence enhanced the beauty and ampleness of Nature herself.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Against the Word the unstilled world still whirled
About the center of the silent Word.”
