    “The tender skin does not shrink from bayonets, the timid woman is not scared by fagots; the rack is not frightful, nor the rope ignominious. The poor Puritan, Antony Parsons, at the stake, tied straw on his head when the fire approached him, and said, “This is God’s hat.””
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Any man which an idea, however subtle and unexpected it may be, finds lacking, is not a writer. The inexpressible does not exist.”
