—Bertha Honore Potter Palmer (1849–1918)
“It is the story-teller’s task to elicit sympathy and a measure of understanding for those who lie outside the boundaries of State approval.”
—Graham Greene (1904–1991)
“Ideas are not thoughts; the thought respects the boundaries that the idea ignores thereby failing to realize itself.”
