Book cover for The Year of Living Constitutionally: One Man's Humble Quest to Follow the Constitution's Original Meaning
One reader from Australia wrote that his country has a similar tradition. But instead of cake, it’s the Democracy Sausage. There are barbecues on Election Day in Australia. I’m impressed with Australia. First the secret ballot. Now the ...more

T.H. White
“The best cure for grief is learning".”
T.H. White, The Once and Future King

Jessica Townsend
“Ginger was an understatement, Morrigan thought, trying to hide her astonishment as the hat came off. Ginger of the Year or King Ginger or Big Gingery President of the Ginger Foundation for the Incurably Ginger would have been more accurate. His mane of bright copper waves could probably have won awards.”
Jessica Townsend, Nevermoor: The Trials of Morrigan Crow

Sharon  Moalem
“A Canadian physiologist named Norman Kasting discovered that bleeding animals induces the release of the hormone vasopressin; this reduces their fevers and spurs their immune system into higher gear. The connection isn’t unequivocally proven in humans, but there is much correlation between bloodletting and fever reduction in the historic record. Bleeding also may have helped to fight infection by reducing the amount of iron available to feed an invader, providing an assist to the body’s natural tendency to hide iron when it recognizes an infection.”
Sharon Moalem, Survival of the Sickest: A Medical Maverick Discovers Why We Need Disease

“Fenestra was silent for a while, and Morrigan thought she’d fallen asleep standing up. Then she felt something warm, wet, and sandpapery lick the entire right side of her face. She sniffled again, and Fen’s big gray head rubbed her shoulder affectionately. “Thanks, Fen,” Morrigan said quietly. She heard Fenestra padding softly to the door. “Fen?” “Mmm?” “Your saliva smells like sardines.” “Yeah, well. I’m a cat.” “Now my face smells like sardines.” “I don’t care. I’m a cat.” “Night, Fen.”
Jessica Townsend, Nevermoor: The Trials of Morrigan Crow

W.E.B. Du Bois
“Daily the Negro is coming more and more to look upon law and justice, not as protecting safeguards, but as sources of humiliation and oppression. The laws are made by men who have little interest in him; they are executed by men who have absolutely no motive for treating the black people with courtesy or consideration; and, finally, the accused law-breaker is tried, not by his peers, but too often by men who would rather punish ten innocent Negroes than let one guilty one escape.”
W.E.B. Du Bois, The Souls of Black Folk
