    “—Here, the flag snaps in the glare and silence
    Of the unbroken ice. I stand here,
    The dogs bark, my beard is black, and I stare
    At the North Pole. . .

    Turn as I please, my step is to the south.”
    —Randall Jarrell (1914–1965)

The first political form therefore which we observe in History, is Despotism, the second Democracy and Aristocracy, the third, Monarchy.”
    —Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)

    “At a dinner party one should eat wisely but not too well, and talk well but not too wisely.”
