“All of childhood’s unanswered questions must finally be passed back to the town and answered there.

In later years they change faces, places and maybe races, tactics, intensities and goals, but beneath those penetrable masks they wear forever the stocking-capped faces of childhood.”
—Maya Angelou (b. 1928)

“Cowards suffer, heroes enjoy.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
