    “The values to which the conservative appeals are inevitably caricatured by the individuals designated to put them into practice.”
    —Harold Rosenberg (1906–1978)

    “Our citizenship in the United States is our national character. Our citizenship in any particular state is only our local distinction. By the latter we are known at home, by the former to the world. Our great title is AMERICANS—our inferior one varies with the place.”
    —Thomas Paine (1737–1809)

    “I fear no man, no woman;
    flower does not fear
    bird, insect nor adder.”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
