    —Billie Holiday (1915–1959)

    “Poetry asks people to have values, form opinions, care about some other part of experience besides making money and being successful on the job.”
    —Toi Derricotte (b. 1941)

    “Executives are like joggers. If you stop a jogger, he goes on running on the spot. If you drag an executive away from his business, he goes on running on the spot, pawing the ground, talking business. He never stops hurtling onwards, making decisions and executing them.”
    —Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)

    “I see His blood upon the rose,
    And in the stars the glory of His eyes
    His body gleams amid eternal snows,
    His tears fall from the skies.”
