“Sophocles long ago
Heard it on the Aegaean, and it brought
Into his mind the turbid ebb and flow
Of human misery; we
Find also in the sound a thought,
Hearing it by this distant northern sea.”

“Berowne they call him, but a merrier man,
Within the limit of becoming mirth,
I never spent an hour’s talk withal.”

“Somewhere along the line of development we discover who we really are, and then we make our real decision for which we are responsible.

—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
