—Linda Grant (b. 1949)
“Sometimes it just takes stronger eyeglasses to cure those who are in love—and someone with the ability to imagine a face or a figure twenty years older might perhaps pass through life quite undisturbed.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“I prefer to finish my education at a different school.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
