    “There can be no more ancient and traditional American value than ignorance. English-only speakers brought it with them to this country three centuries ago, and they quickly imposed it on the Africans—who were not allowed to learn to read and write—and on the Native Americans, who were simply not allowed.”
    —Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)

    “A pale self-portrait looked out of the mirror with the serious eyes of all self-portraits.”
    —Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

    “Back and side go bare, go bare,
    Both foot and hand go cold;
    But belly, God send thee good ale enough;
    Whether it be new or old!”
    —William Stevenson (1530?–1575)
