    “Every literary critic believes he will outwit history and have the last word.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    “When the landscape buckles and jerks around, when a dust column of debris rises from the collapse of a block of buildings on bodies that could have been your own, when the staves of history fall awry and the barrel of time bursts apart, some turn to prayer, some to poetry: words in the memory, a stained book carried close to the body, the notebook scribbled by hand—a center of gravity.”
    —Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

    “There is a law in each well-ordered nation
    To curb those raging appetites that are
    Most disobedient and refractory.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
