“The only way to get along is to seek the difficult job, always do it well, and see that you get paid for it properly. Oh, yes, and don’t forget to exploit men all you can. Because if you don’t they will exploit you.”
—El Dorado Jones (1861–1932)

“It was the most wild and desolate region we had camped in, where, if anywhere, one might expect to meet with befitting inhabitants, but I heard only the squeak of a nighthawk flitting over. The moon in her first quarter, in the fore part of the night, setting over the bare rocky hills garnished with tall, charred, and hollow stumps or shells of trees, served to reveal the desolation.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
