“There has been in our time a lack of reliance on language and a lack of experimentation which are frightening to anyone who sees them as symptoms.

—Muriel Rukeyser (1913–1980)
“I have known a German Prince with more titles than subjects, and a Spanish nobleman with more names than shirts.”
—Oliver Goldsmith (1728–1774)

—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
