Where is the country’s champion, the Moore of Moore Hall, to meet him at the Deep Cut and thrust an avenging lance between the ribs of the bloated pest?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“You mustn’t give your heart to a wild thing. The more you do, the stronger they get. Until they’re strong enough to run into the woods or fly into a tree. And then to a higher tree. And then to the sky.”
—George Axelrod (b. 1922)
