    Aristide Briand (1862–1932)

    All history and art are against us, but we still expect happiness in love.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    The history of this country was made largely by people who wanted to be left alone. Those who could not thrive when left to themselves never felt at ease in America.
