    “Because you live, O Christ,
    the spirit bird of hope is freed for flying,
    our cages of despair no longer keep us closed and life-denying.
    The stone has rolled away and death cannot imprison!
    O sing this Easter Day, for Jesus Christ has risen!”
    —Shirley Erena Murray (20th century)

    “Frankly, I’d like to see the government get out of war altogether and leave the whole field to private industry.”
    —Joseph Heller (b. 1923)
