    “And, once more let me tell you, it is indispensable to you that you strike a blow. I am powerless to help this.”
    —Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    “There is a mystery that floats between
    The tourist and the town. Imagination
    Estranges it from her. She need not suffer
    Or die here. It is none of her affair,
    Its calm heroic vistas make no claim.”
    —Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

    “The plays of children are nonsense, but very educative nonsense. So it is with the largest and solemnest things, with commerce, government, church, marriage, and so with the history of every man’s bread, and the ways by which he is to come by it.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
