“Go! dive into the Southern Sea, and when
Th’ast found, to trouble the nice sight of men,
A swelling pearl, and such whose single worth
Boasts all the wonders which the seas bring forth,
Give it Endymion’s love, whose ev’ry tear
Would more enrich the skilful jeweller.”
—Sir William Davenant (1606–1668)
“Surely the only sound foundation for a civilization is a sound state of mind.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
“I wish to speak a word for Nature, for absolute freedom and wildness, as contrasted with a freedom and culture merely civil,—to regard man as an inhabitant, or a part and parcel of Nature, rather than as a member of society. I wish to make an extreme statement, if so I may make an emphatic one, for there are enough champions of civilization: the minister and the school committee and every one of you will take care of that.”
—Henry David David (1817–1862)
