—Karl Wilhelm Von Humboldt (1767–1835)

“Words can have no single fixed meaning. Like wayward electrons, they can spin away from their initial orbit and enter a wider magnetic field. No one owns them or has a proprietary right to dictate how they will be used.”
—David Lehman (b. 1948)

“All of us failed to match our dreams of perfection. So I rate us on the basis of our splendid failure to do the impossible.”
