“Every concrete object
has abstract value, is timeless
in the dream parallel.”
—Hilda Doolittle (18861961)
“The government, which is the supreme authority in states, must be in the hands of one, or of a few, or of the many. The true forms of government, therefore, are those in which the one, the few, or the many, govern with a view to the common interest.”
—Aristotle (384323 B.C.)
