The elements in crisis are the same, there is a fermentation that is identical. The elements are these: a body of men, women and children, hungry; an organization of feudal employers out to break the back of unionization; and the government Labor Board sent to “negotiate” between this hunger and this greed.”
—Meridel Le Sueur (b. 1900)
“What is called a road there ... is only an indistinct vista through the wood, which it takes an experienced eye to detect.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
