    “To be, contents his natural desire;
    He asks no Angel’s wing, no Seraph’s fire;

    His faithful dog shall bear him company.”
    —Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    “How often we must remember the art of the surgeon, which, in replacing the broken bone, contents itself with releasing the parts from false position; they fly into place by the action of the muscles. On this art of nature all our arts rely.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “If one reads a newspaper only for information, one does not learn the truth, not even the truth about the paper. The truth is that the newspaper is not a statement of contents but the contents themselves; and more than that, it is an instigator.”
    —Karl Kraus (1874–1936)
