“In an early spring

Hope gives not so much warrant, as despair
That frosts will bite them.”

“If I had no duties, and no reference to futurity, I would spend my life in driving briskly in a post-chaise with a pretty woman.”

“I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead;
I lift my eyes and all is born again.”
—Sylvia Plath (1932–1963)
“From the beginning, the placement of [Clarence] Thomas on the high court was seen as a political end justifying almost any means.

—Jane Mayer, U.S. journalist, and Jill Abramson b. 1954, U.S. journalist. Strange Justice, p. 8, Houghton Mifflin (1994)
