“No, they are dark and wrinkled and hairy,

coldness towards life,

own such unwomanliness.”

“Be great, carve deep your heel-marks.
The states of the next age will no doubt remember you, and edge
their love of freedom with contempt of luxury.”
—Robinson Jeffers (1887–1962)
“Next to the originator of a good sentence is the first quoter of it. Many will read the book before one thinks of quoting a passage. As soon as he has done this, that line will be quoted east and west.”
