—Carson McCullers (1917–1967)
“Readers transform a library from a mausoleum into many theaters.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“The United States is a republic, and a republic is a state in which the people are the boss. That means us. And if the big shots in Washington don’t do like we vote, we don’t vote for them, by golly, no more.”
—Willis Goldbeck (1900–1979)
