“What strikes me as odd now is how much my father managed to get across to me without those heart-to-hearts which Ive read about fathers and sons having in the study or in the rowboat or in the car.... Somehow I understood completely how he expected me to behave, in small matters as well as large, even though I cant remember being given any lectures about it beyond the occasional, undramatic You might as well be a mensch.”
—Calvin Trillin (20th century)
“Like to the Pontic Sea,
Whose icy current and compulsive course
Neer knows retiring ebb, but keeps due on
To the Propontic and the Hellespont,
Even so my bloody thoughts with violent pace
Shall neer look back, neer ebb to humble love,
Till that a capable and wide revenge
Swallow them up.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
“Since moons decay and suns decline,
How else should end this life of mine?”
—John Masefield (18781967)
