    “Men are not philosophers, but are rather very foolish children, who, by reason of their partiality, see everything in the most absurd manner, and are the victims at all times of the nearest object.

Our experience, our perception is conditioned by the need to acquire in parts and in succession, that is, with every truth a certain falsehood.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “In the field of world policy I would dedicate this Nation to the policy of the Good Neighbor—the neighbor who resolutely respects himself and, because he does, respects the rights of others—the neighbor who respects his obligations and respects the sanctity of his agreements in and with a world of neighbors.”
    —Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)

    “If men got pregnant, there would be safe, reliable methods of birth control. They’d be inexpensive, too.”
    —Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
