    “We who are old, old and gay,
    O so old!
    Thousands of years, thousands of years,
    If all were told:”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “So gladly, from the songs of modern speech
    Men turn, and see the stars, and feel the free
    Shrill wind beyond the close of heavy flowers,
    And through the music of the languid hours,
    They hear like ocean on a western beach
    The surge and thunder of the Odyssey.”
    —Andrew Lang (1844–1912)

    “But of all the views of this law [universal education] none is more important, none more legitimate, than that of rendering the people the safe, as they are the ultimate, guardians of their own liberty.”
    —Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

    “Ellie: By the way, what’s your name?

    Ellie: Who are you?

    Ellie: You’ve got a name, haven’t you?
    Peter: Yeah, I got a name. Peter Warne.
    Ellie: Peter Warne? I don’t like it.”
    —Robert Riskin (1897–1955)
