Kenneth D. Ackerman
“The busy 20th and 21st centuries have made Garfield's era seem remote and irrelevant, its leaders ridiculed for their very obscurity... to the generation of Americans then alive, though, their dramas, humanities, and dignity were a compelling part of daily life. For twenty years after the Civil War, America was led by a group of larger-than-life figures with clay feet who fought and raged and plied their craft with nerve and ambition while following a code of honor riddled with blind spots and inconsistencies; during that time, public involvement in politics reached levels far higher than today. Garfield held a special place: one of the most promising of his generation, shot down in his prime, martyred for taking a principled stand.”
Kenneth D. Ackerman, Dark Horse: The Surprise Election and Political Murder of President James A. Garfield

Roald Dahl
“There is little point in teaching anything backwards. The whole object of life, Headmistress, is to go forwards.”
Roald Dahl, Matilda
