“You would not have thought, if you had seen him lying about thus, that he was the proprietor of so many acres in that neighborhood, was worth six thousand dollars, and had been to Washington. It seemed to me that, like the Irish, he made a greater ado about his sickness than a Yankee does, and was more alarmed about himself.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“It is often said that Poland is a country where there is anti-semitism and no Jews, which is pathology in its purest state.”
