—Hermann Hesse (18771962)
“Indeed, the Englishmans history of New England commences only when it ceases to be New France.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“The history of his present majesty, is a history of unremitting injuries and usurpations ... all of which have in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world, for the truth of which we pledge a faith yet unsullied by falsehood.”
—Thomas Jefferson (17431826)
