    —Susan Sontag (b. 1933)

    “Integrity without knowledge is weak and useless, and knowledge without integrity is dangerous and dreadful.”
    —Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    “Though I do not believe that a plant will spring up where no seed has been, I have great faith in a seed,—a, to me, equally mysterious origin for it.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
