Instead of cultivating the earth for wheat and potatoes, they cultivate literature, and fill a place in the Republic of Letters. Or they would fain write for fame merely, as others actually raise crops of grain to be distilled into brandy.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The first requisite of a good citizen in this republic of ours is that he shall be able and willing to pull his weight.”

—Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)
