“To divide one’s life by years is of course to tumble into a trap set by our own arithmetic.

But we, unlike trees, need grow no annual rings.”
—Clifton Fadiman (b. 1904)
“The essence of belief is the establishment of a habit; and different beliefs are distinguished by the different modes of action to which they give rise.”
—Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)
“Success and failure in our own national economy will hang upon the degree to which we are able to work with races and nations whose social order and whose behavior and attitudes are strange to us.”
—Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)
