    Hell and damnation,
    life is such fun
    with a ragged greatcoat
    and a Jerry gun!
    Alexander Blok (1880–1921)

    It is a life-and-death conflict between all those grand, universal, man-respecting principles which we call by the comprehensive term democracy, and all those partial, person-respecting, class-favoring elements which we group together under that silver-slippered word aristocracy. If this war does not mean that, it means nothing.
    —Antoinette Brown Blackwell (1825–1921)
