—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“The ingrained idea that, because there is no king and they despise titles, the Americans are a free people is pathetically untrue.... There is a perpetual interference with personal liberty over there that would not be tolerated in England for a week.”
—Margot Asquith (1864–1945)
“The more highly public life is organized the lower does its morality sink.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
