—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“... there are persons who seem to have overcome obstacles and by character and perseverance to have risen to the top. But we have no record of the numbers of able persons who fall by the wayside, persons who, with enough encouragement and opportunity, might make great contributions.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
“I’m not even thinking straight any more. Numbers buzz in my head like wasps.”
