“... ideals, standards, aspirations,—those are chameleon words, and take color from their speakers,—often false tints.

—Carolyn Wells (1862–1942)

“A holiday is when you celebrate something that’s all finished up, that happened a long time ago and now there’s nothing left to celebrate but the dead.”
