    “When lilacs last in the dooryard bloomed
    And the great star early drooped in the western sky in the night,
    I mourned, and yet shall mourn with ever-returning spring.
    Ever-returning spring, trinity sure to me you bring,
    Lilac blooming perennial and drooping star in the west,
    And thought of him I love.”
    —Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    “The world perishes not from bandits and fires, but from hatred, hostility, and all these petty squabbles.”
    —Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
