    “Adolescents are travelers, far from home with no native land, neither children nor adults. They are jet-setters who fly from one country to another with amazing speed. Sometimes they are four years old, an hour later they are twenty-five. They don’t really fit anywhere. There’s a yearning for place, a search for solid ground.”
    —Mary Pipher (20th century)

    “Several classical sayings that one likes to repeat had quite a different meaning from the ones later times attributed to them.”
    —Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

    “this cartoon by Raphael for a tapestry for a Pope:”
    —Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)

    “Who that has heard a strain of music feared then lest he should speak extravagantly any more forever?”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Pleads he in earnest? Look upon his face.
    His eyes do drop no tears, his prayers are in jest.
    His words come from his mouth; ours from our breast.
    He prays but faintly, and would be denied;
    We pray with heart and soul, and all beside.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
