“You can’t divide the country up into sections and have one rule for one section and one rule for another, and you can’t encourage people’s prejudices.

― Jon Meacham, The Soul of America: The Battle for Our Better Angels

“Henry James was one of the nicest old ladies I ever met.”
― William Faulkner

“My perfect day is sitting in a room with some blank paper. That's heaven. That's gold and anything else is just a waste of time.”

“I'm yours for ever--for ever and ever. Here I stand; I'm as firm as a rock. If you'll only trust me, how little you'll be disappointed. Be mine as I am yours.”
