    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Creative writers are always greater than the causes that they represent.”
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)

    “Since I am a man, my heart is three or four times less sensitive, because I have three or four times as much power of reason and experience of the world—a thing which you women call hard-heartedness. As a man, I can take refuge in having mistresses. The more of them I have, and the greater the scandal, the more I acquire reputation and brilliance in society.”
    —Stendhal [Marie Henri Beyle] (1783–1842)
