    The werewolf is neither man nor wolf, but a satanic creature with the worst qualities of both.
    —John Colton (1886–1946)

    The point of the dragonfly’s terrible lip, the giant water bug, birdsong, or the beautiful dazzle and flash of sunlighted minnows, is not that it all fits together like clockwork--for it doesn’t ... but that it all flows so freely wild, like the creek, that it all surges in such a free, finged tangle. Freedom is the world’s water and weather, the world’s nourishment freely given, its soil and sap: and the creator loves pizzazz.
    Annie Dillard (b. 1945)

    The state is therefore everyone; the rules within the state are laws which safeguard the welfare of all and which must originate from the welfare of all.
    Georg Büchner (1813–1837)
