—J. Enoch Powell (b. 1912)
“A state without the means of some change is without the means of its conservation.”
—Edmund Burke (1729–1797)
“Linnæus, setting out for Lapland, surveys his “comb” and “spare shirt,” “leathern breeches” and “gauze cap to keep off gnats,” with as much complacency as Bonaparte a park of artillery for the Russian campaign. The quiet bravery of the man is admirable.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
