    You do not quite get what I mean. Herr Frankenstein was interested only in human life. First to destroy it, then recreate it. There you have his mad dream.

    I hope there are some who will brave ridicule for the sake of common justice to half the people in the world.
    —Barbara Leigh Smith Bodichon (1827–1891)

    The present century has not dealt kindly with the farmer. His legends are all but obsolete, and his beliefs have been pared away by the professors at colleges of agriculture.

    —For the State of Kansas, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
