—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

Is the study of man, this image of Saturday,

Within the very object that we seek,
Participants of its being.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“The Republican form of government is the highest form of government; but because of this it requires the highest type of human nature—a type nowhere at present existing.”
—Herbert Spencer (1820–1903)

—Leon Trotsky (1879–1940)
