“...America has enjoyed the doubtful blessing of a single-track mind. We are able to accommodate, at a time, only one national hero; and we demand that that hero shall be uniform and invincible.

—Ellen Glasgow (1873–1945)
“Cynicism is cheap—you can buy it at any Monoprix store—it’s built into all poor- quality goods.”

“The award of a pure gold medal for poetry would flatter the recipient unduly: no poem ever attains such carat purity.”
—Robert Graves (1895–1985)
