    “I am a democrat only on principle, not by instinct—nobody is that. Doubtless some people say they are, but this world is grievously given to lying.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    “The planet’s survival has become so uncertain that any effort, any thought that presupposes an assured future amounts to a mad gamble.”
    —Elias Canetti (b. 1905)
