    “The inference is, that God has restated the superiority of the West. God always does like that when a thousand white people surround one dark one. Dark people are always “bad” when they do not admit the Divine Plan like that. A certain Javanese man who sticks up for Indonesian Independence is very lowdown by the papers, and suspected of being a Japanese puppet.”
    —Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)

    “We all know the Navy is never wrong, but in this case it was a little weak on being right.”
    —Wendell Mayes, U.S. screenwriter. Otto Preminger. CINCPAC II (Henry Fonda)

    “People generally will soon understand that writers should be judged, not according to rules and species, which are contrary to nature and art, but according to the immutable principles of the art of composition, and the special laws of their individual temperaments.”
    —Victor Hugo (1802–1885)

    “When we are in love, the sentiment is too great to be contained whole within us; it radiates out to our beloved, finds in her a surface which stops it, forces it to return to its point of departure, and it is this rebound of our own tenderness which we call the other’s affection and which charms us more than when it first went out because we do not see that it comes from us.”
    —Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
