    “What makes the United States government, on the whole, more tolerable—I mean for us lucky white men—is the fact that there is so much less of government with us.... But in Canada you are reminded of the government every day. It parades itself before you. It is not content to be the servant, but will be the master; and every day it goes out to the Plains of Abraham or to the Champs de Mars and exhibits itself and toots.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Every day we should hear at least one little song, read one good poem, see one exquisite picture, and, if possible, speak a few sensible words.”
    —Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

    “Dry as a tomb, your coloured lids
    Shall not be latched while magic glides
    Sage on the earth and sky;
    There shall be corals in your beds,
    There shall be serpents in your tides,
    Till all our sea-faiths die.”
    —Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
