“Love all, trust a few,
Do wrong to none: be able for thine enemy
Rather in power than use; and keep thy friend
Under thy own life's key: be check'd for silence,
But never tax'd for speech.”
― William Shakespeare, All's Well That Ends Well

“How does a culture that prizes equality of opportunity explain, or indeed accommodate, its persistently marginalized people?”
― Nancy Isenberg, White Trash: The 400-Year Untold History of Class in America

“How sad it is! I shall grow old, and horrible, and dreadful. But this picture will remain always young. It will never be older than this particular day of June.... If it were only the other way! If it were I who was to be always young, and the picture that was to grow old! For that—for that—I would give everything! Yes, there is nothing in the whole world I would not give! I would give my soul for that!”
― Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray
