    “When at last in a race a new principle appears, an idea—that conserves it; ideas only save races.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “When any one of our relations was found to be a person of a very bad character, a troublesome guest, or one we desired to get rid of, upon his leaving my house I ever took care to lend him a riding-coat, or a pair of boots, or sometimes a horse of small value, and I always had the satisfaction of finding he never came back to return them.”
    —Oliver Goldsmith (1728–1774)

    “Each act of criticism is general
    But, in cutting itself off from all the others,
    Explicit enough.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)
