    —C. John Sommerville (20th century)

    “For when as each thing bad thou hast entomb’d,
    And last of all, thy greedy self consum’d,
    Then long Eternity shall greet our bliss
    With an individual kiss;”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)

    “What we have to do ... is to find a way to celebrate our diversity and debate our differences without fracturing our communities.”
    —Hillary Rodham Clinton (b. 1947)
