—Rheta Childe Dorr (1866–1948)
“I am invariably of the politics of the people at whose table I sit, or beneath whose roof I sleep.”
—George Borrow (1803–1881)
“However, no two people see the external world in exactly the same way. To every separate person a thing is what he thinks it is—in other words, not a thing, but a think.”
—Penelope Fitzgerald (b. 1916)
