—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)

“The whole of the day should not be daytime; there should be one hour, if not more, which the day did not bring forth.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“It breaks his heart that kings must murder still,
That all his hours of travail here for men
Seem yet in vain. And who will bring white peace
That he may sleep upon his hill again?”
—Vachel Lindsay (1879–1931)
