—Robert Warshow (1917–1955)

“The issue is a mighty one for all people and all time; and whoever aids the right, will be appreciated and remembered.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

“We have nothing to do, but to choose what is right, to be steady in the pursuit of it, and leave the issue to Providence.”
—Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
