    “In bourgeois society, the French and the industrial revolution transformed the authorization of political space. The political revolution put an end to the formalized hierarchy of the ancien regimé.... Concurrently, the industrial revolution subverted the social hierarchy upon which the old political space was based. It transformed the experience of society from one of vertical hierarchy to one of horizontal class stratification.”
    —Donald M. Lowe, U.S. historian, educator. History of Bourgeois Perception, ch. 4, University of Chicago Press (1982)

    “Cold an old predicament of the breath:
    Adroit, the shapely prefaces complete,
    Accept the university of death.”
    —Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    “Rhetoric may be defined as the faculty of observing in any given case the available means of persuasion.”
    —Aristotle (384–323 B.C.)

    “For this invention of yours will produce forgetfulness in the minds of those who learn it, by causing them to neglect their memory, inasmuch as, from their confidence in writing, they will recollect by the external aid of foreign symbols, and not by the internal use of their own faculties. Your discovery, therefore, is a medicine not for memory, but for recollection,—for recalling to, not for keeping in mind.”
    —Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)
