In this fresh, breezy atmosphere ... we will be surprised to find that many of our familiar old conventional truths look very queer indeed in some of the sudden side lights thrown upon them.”
—Bertha Honore Potter Palmer (1849–1918)
“Ideas are not thoughts; the thought respects the boundaries that the idea ignores thereby failing to realize itself.”
