    “And hearts that once beat high for praise
    Now feel that pulse no more!”
    —Thomas Moore (1779–1852)

    “Only the desert has a fascination—to ride alone—in the sun in the forever unpossessed country—away from man. That is a great temptation.”

    “You mean they could still be living in a primitive state of neurotic irresponsibility?”
    —Terry Southern (b. 1924)

    “Social questions are too sectional, too topical, too temporal to move a man to the mighty effort which is needed to produce great poetry. Prison reform may nerve Charles Reade to produce an effective and businesslike prose melodrama; but it could never produce Hamlet, Faust, or Peer Gynt.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
