    William Howard Taft (1857–1930)

    Our religion vulgarly stands on numbers of believers. Whenever the appeal is made—no matter how indirectly—to numbers, proclamation is then and there made, that religion is not. He that finds God a sweet, enveloping presence, who shall dare to come in?
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Poetry has become the higher algebra of metaphors.
    José Ortega Y Gasset (1883–1955)
