“Perspective, as its inventor remarked, is a beautiful thing. What horrors of damp huts, where human beings languish, may not become picturesque through aerial distance! What hymning of cancerous vices may we not languish over as sublimest art in the safe remoteness of a strange language and artificial phrase!

—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
“In other words, a democratic government is the only one in which those who vote for a tax can escape the obligation to pay it.”
—Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)
“We are all adult learners. Most of us have learned a good deal more out of school than in it. We have learned from our families, our work, our friends.

—Laurent A. Daloz (20th century)
