    —John Dewey (1859–1952)

    “You know, honey, us colored folks is branches without roots and that makes things come round in queer ways.”
    —Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)

    “What we call birth
    Is but a beginning to be something else
    Than what we were before; and when we cease
    To be that something, then we call it death.”
    —Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
