—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
“The Yanks have colonized our subconscious.”
—Wim Wenders (b. 1945)
“When we reached the lake, about half past eight in the evening, it was still steadily raining, and harder than before; and, in that fresh, cool atmosphere, the hylodes were peeping and the toads ringing about the lake universally, as in the spring with us.

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
