“It was a fatal day when the public discovered that the pen is mightier than the paving-stone, and can be made as offensive as the brickbat. They at once sought for the journalist, found him, developed him, and made him their industrious and well-paid servant. It is greatly to be regretted, for both their sakes.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“One must either take an interest in the human situation or else parade before the void.”

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“We should conserve evil just as we should conserve the forests. It is true that by thinning and clearing the forests the earth grew warmer.”
