    “Do you know how poetry started? I always think that it started when a cave boy came running back to the cave, through the tall grass, shouting as he ran, “Wolf, wolf,” and there was no wolf. His baboon-like parents, great sticklers for the truth, gave him a hiding, no doubt, but poetry had been born—the tall story had been born in the tall grass.”
    —Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

    “It is clearly better that property should be private, but the use of it common; and the special business of the legislator is to create in men this benevolent disposition.”
