    “Then the American flag was saluted. In general, in the United States people always salute the American flag.”
    —Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)

    “I wish to speak a word for Nature, for absolute freedom and wildness, as contrasted with a freedom and culture merely civil,—to regard man as an inhabitant, or a part and parcel of Nature, rather than as a member of society. I wish to make an extreme statement, if so I may make an emphatic one, for there are enough champions of civilization: the minister and the school committee and every one of you will take care of that.”
    —Henry David David (1817–1862)

    “the
    Decapitated exclamation points in that Other Woman’s eyes.”

    “What the United States does best is to understand itself. What it does worst is understand others.”
    —Carlos Fuentes (b. 1928)

    “The line that I am urging as today’s conventional wisdom is not a denial of consciousness. It is often called, with more reason, a repudiation of mind. It is indeed a repudiation of mind as a second substance, over and above body. It can be described less harshly as an identification of mind with some of the faculties, states, and activities of the body. Mental states and events are a special subclass of the states and events of the human or animal body.”
    —Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
