    Science is intimately integrated with the whole social structure and cultural tradition. They mutually support one other—only in certain types of society can science flourish, and conversely without a continuous and healthy development and application of science such a society cannot function properly.
    Talcott Parsons (1902–1979)

    The hearts of small children are delicate organs. A cruel beginning in this world can twist them into curious shapes. The heart of a hurt child can shrink so that forever afterward it is hard and pitted as the seed of a peach. Or, again, the heart of such a child may fester and swell until it is misery to carry within the body, easily chafed and hurt by the most ordinary things.
    Carson McCullers (1917–1967)

    “... Anne has a way with flowers to take the place
    Of what she’s lost: she goes down on one knee
    And lifts their faces by the chin to hers
    And says their names, and leaves them where they are.”
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
