    “Poets are the hierophants of an unapprehended inspiration; the mirrors of the gigantic shadows which futurity casts upon the present; the words which express what they understand not; the trumpets which sing to battle and feel not what they inspire; the influence which is moved not, but moves. Poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world.”
    —Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

    “The truth is, no matter how trying they become, babies two and under don’t have the ability to make moral choices, so they can’t be “bad.” That category only exists in the adult mind.”
    —Anne Cassidy (20th century)

    “I was by degrees awakened as from a dream, and feared that my whole life could properly be counted nothing else but a fantastic vision.”
    —Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
