    “But the best read naturalist who lends an entire and devout attention to truth, will see that there remains much to learn of his relation to the world, and that it is not to be learned by any addition or subtraction or other comparison of known quantities, but is arrived at by untaught sallies of the spirit, by a continual self-recovery, and by entire humility.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “It is very important not to become hard. The artist must always have one skin too few in comparison to other people, so you feel the slightest wind.”
    —Shusha Guppy (b. 1938)

    “Democracy substitutes election by the incompetent many for appointment by the corrupt few.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    “It was almost two years ago, while awaiting the imminent birth of my second child, that I decided to start working part-time. This would have been unthinkable to me when I was younger. At twenty-five I should have worn a big red A on my chest; it would have stood for ambition, an ambition so brazen and burning that it would have reduced Hester Prynne’s transgression to pale pink.”
    —Anna Quindlen (20th century)
