    “As you grow older, you’ll see white men cheat black men every day of your life, but let me tell you something and don’t you forget it—whenever a white man does that to a black man, no matter who he is, how rich he is, or how fine a family he comes from, that white man is trash.”
    —Harper Lee (b. 1926)

    “Then the little Hiawatha
    Learned of every bird its language,
    Learned their names and all their secrets,”
    —Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)
