    “We know all their gods; they ignore ours. What they call our sins are our gods, and what they call their gods, we name otherwise.”
    —Natalie Clifford Barney (1876–1972)

    “All conservatives are such from personal defects. They have been effeminated by position or nature, born halt and blind, through luxury of their parents, and can only, like invalids, act on the defensive. But strong natures, backwoodsmen, New Hampshire giants, Napoleons, Burkes, Broughams, Websters, Kossuths, are inevitable patriots, until their life ebbs, and their defects and gout, palsy and money, warp them.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
