The constitutional purpose of a budget is to make government responsive to public opinion and responsible for its acts.”
—William Howard Taft (18571930)
“The United States have a coffle of four millions of slaves. They are determined to keep them in this condition; and Massachusetts is one of the confederated overseers to prevent their escape.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)

“I am weaker than a womans tear,
Tamer than sleep, fonder than ignorance,
Less valiant than the virgin in the night,

if you are lost
what is Naxos, Tinos, Andros,
and Delos, the clasp
of the white necklace?”
