It is by ridicule that they must be attacked, and by scorn that they must be punished.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“Congress has scarcely any thing to employ them, and complain that the place [Washington, D.C.] is remarkably dull.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“Some must employ the scythe
Upon the grasses,
That the walks be smooth
For the feet of the angel.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
