    “I did not wish to take a cabin passage, but rather to go before the mast and on the deck of the world, for there I could best see the moonlight amid the mountains. I do not wish to go below now.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Mrs. John Lyford is so much pleased with the state of
    widowhood as to be going to put in for being a widow again; she
    is to marry a Mr. Fendall.”
    —Jane Austen (1775–1817)

    “Perhaps if the future existed, concretely and individually, as something that could be discerned by a better brain, the past would not be so seductive: its demands would be balanced by those of the future. Persons might then straddle the middle stretch of the seesaw when considering this or that object. It might be fun.”
    —Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

    “At school boys become gluttons and slovens, and, instead of cultivating domestic affections, very early rush into the libertinism which destroys the constitution before it is formed; hardening the heart as it weakens the understanding.”
    —Mary Wollstonecraft (1759–1797)
