Nelse McLeod: What usually happens to a man—a woman. Seems like he tangled with some wanderin’ petticoat. He’s been drunk ever since.”

“If you read only the best, you will have no need of reading the other books, because the latter are nothing but a rehash of the best and the oldest. To read Shakespeare, Plato, Dante, Milton, Spenser, Chaucer, and their compeers in prose, is to read in condensed form what all others have diluted.”
—Anna C. Brackett (1836–1911)
