    Every morning I woke in dread, waiting for the day nurse to go on her rounds and announce from the list of names in her hand whether or not I was for shock treatment, the new and fashionable means of quieting people and of making them realize that orders are to be obeyed and floors are to be polished without anyone protesting and faces are to be made to be fixed into smiles and weeping is a crime.
    Janet Frame (b. 1924)

    We are told to maintain constitutions because they are constitutions, and what is laid down in those constitutions?... Certain great fundamental ideas of right are common to the world, and ... all laws of man’s making which trample on these ideas, are null and void—wrong to obey, right to disobey.

    Anna Elizabeth Dickinson (1842–1932)

    A horse! A horse! My kingdom for a horse!
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Every spirit builds itself a house; and beyond its house a world; and beyond its world, a heaven. Know then that the world exists for you.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Men of England, wherefore plough
    For the lords who lay ye low?
    Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

    There are few cases in which mere popularity should be considered a proper test of merit; but the case of song-writing is, I think, one of the few.
