“There was a young monk from Siberia
Whose morals were very inferior.
He did to a nun
What he shouldn’t have done
And now she’s a Mother Superior.”
—Anonymous.
“It is easier to sail many thousand miles through cold and storm and cannibals, in a government ship, with five hundred men and boys to assist one, than it is to explore the private sea, the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean of one’s being alone.... It is not worth the while to go round the world to count the cats in Zanzibar.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
