It is the instinct which drove America to the Pacific, all through the nineteenth century, the desire to be able to find a restaurant open in case you want a sandwich, to be a free agent, live by one’s own rules.”
—Joan Didion (b. 1934)
“‘So passeth, in the passing of a day,
Of mortall life the leafe, the bud, the flowre,”
—Edmund Spenser (1552?–1599)
