    “Product of a myriad various minds and contending tongues, compact of obscure and minute association, a language has its own abundant and often recondite laws, in the habitual and summary recognition of which scholarship consists.”
    —Walter Pater (1839–1894)

    “Social improvement is attained more readily by a concern with the quality of results than with the purity of motives.”
    —Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
