Mona van Duyn
“The world's perverse, but it could be worse.”
Mona Van Duyn

Charlotte Brontë
“I skirted fields, and hedges, and lanes till after sunrise. I believe it was a lovely summer morning: I know my shoes, which I had put on when I left the house, were soon wet with dew. But I looked neither to rising sun, nor smiling sky, nor wakening nature. He who is taken out to pass through a fair scene to the scaffold, thinks not of the flowers that smile on his road, but of the block and axe-edge; of the disseverment of bone and vein; of the grave gaping at the end: and I thought of drear flight and homeless wandering --- and oh! with agony I thought of what I left.”
Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre

Sasha Issenberg
“This was the strategy that concerned Podhorzer, who worried that the approach reflected “an overconfidence in the liberal mind that only a fool would vote for Bush again, so therefore all we had to do was base turnout.” He returned to the AFL dispirited by his exchange with the Kerry campaign and his sense that Democrats had chosen to ignore winnable votes in part because the statistical methods used to identify them were not properly understood by campaign decision makers. “At the time,” says Podhorzer, “all of this just sounded like alien talk to most people.”
Sasha Issenberg, The Victory Lab: The Secret Science of Winning Campaigns

Emily Wilson
“Consumerism provides no psychological satisfaction, because there is no limit to our desires for things that we never needed in the first place.”
Emily Wilson, The Greatest Empire: A Life of Seneca

Mark Twain
“Don’t you know what that is? It’s spring fever. That is what the name of it is. And when you’ve got it, you want—oh, you don’t quite know what it is you DO want, but it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so!”
Mark Twain, Tom Sawyer, Detective
