    —Adele Comandini, and Edward Sutherland. Michael O’Brien (Charles Winninger)

    “... we Northerners have become too much driven by the idea that in twenty years we will live, not now: because by that time our savings and the accrued interest will make it possible.”
    —Brenda Ueland (1891–1985)
