    “We are not about to send American boys 9 or 10,000 miles away from home to do what Asian boys ought to be doing for themselves.”
    —Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)

    “Nonsense and beauty have close connections—closer connections than Art will allow.”
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)

    “When I go into a museum and see the mummies wrapped in their linen bandages, I see that the lives of men began to need reform as long ago as when they walked the earth. I come out into the streets, and meet men who declare that the time is near at hand for the redemption of the race. But as men lived in Thebes, so do they live in Dunstable today.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
