    Henderson: What about Congress and the Supreme Court and the President? We got to pay them, don’t we?
    Grandpa: Not with my money, no sir.
    Robert Riskin (1897–1955)

    So much missing, no sense of self, no core, no trust. Only a deep hollow we need to fill.
    Sister Michele, Indian nun. As quoted in the New York Times Magazine, p. 35 (January 16, 1994)

    Because her instinct has told her, or because she has been reliably informed, the faded virgin knows that the supreme joys are not for her; she knows by a process of the intellect; but she can feel her deprivation no more than the young mother can feel the hardship of the virgin’s lot.
    Arnold Bennett (1867–1931)

    Rome, like Washington, is small enough, quiet enough, for strong personal intimacies; Rome, like Washington, has its democratic court and its entourage of diplomatic circle; Rome, like Washington, gives you plenty of time and plenty of sunlight. In New York we have annihilated both.
    M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)
