    “Do not let a flattering woman coax and wheedle you and deceive you; she is after your barn.”
    —Hesiod (c. 8th century B.C.)

    “A person of mature years and ripe development, who is expecting nothing from literature but the corroboration and renewal of past ideas, may find satisfaction in a lucidity so complete as to occasion no imaginative excitement, but young and ambitious students are not content with it. They seek the excitement because they are capable of the growth that it accompanies.”
    —Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)
