    “He slipped his hand and ran away!

    And hungrily began to eat
    The boy: beginning at his feet.”
    —Hilaire Belloc (1870–1953)

    “What though the field be lost?
    All is not lost; the unconquerable Will,
    And study of revenge, immortal hate,
    And courage never to submit or yield:
    And what is else not to be overcome?”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)

    “The purpose of polite behavior is never virtuous. Deceit, surrender, and concealment: these are not virtues. The goal of the mannerly is comfort, per se.”
    —June Jordan (b. 1939)
