    “We take refuge in illness and then are trapped there.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    “Melancholy is at the bottom of everything, just as at the end of all rivers is the sea. Can it be otherwise in a world where nothing lasts, where all that we have loved or shall love must die? Is death, then, the secret of life? The gloom of an eternal mourning enwraps, more or less closely, every serious and thoughtful soul, as night enwraps the universe.”
    —Henri-Frédéric Amiel (1821–1881)

    “The glory of the farmer is that, in the division of labors, it is his part to create. All trade rests at last on his primitive activity.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Whether talking about addiction, taxation [on cigarettes] or education [about smoking], there is always at the center of the conversation an essential conundrum: How come we’re selling this deadly stuff anyway?”
    —Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
