    The fiery day had a kernel sweet of cold”
    —Edward Thomas (1878–1917)

    “Tragedy dramatizes human life as potentiality and fulfillment. Its virtual future, or Destiny, is therefore quite different from that created in comedy. Comic Destiny is Fortune—what the world will bring, and the man will take or miss, encounter or escape; tragic Destiny is what the man brings, and the world will demand of him. That is his Fate.”
    —Susanne K. Langer (1895–1985)

    “Give a boy address and accomplishments and you give him the mastery of palaces and fortunes where he goes.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “As photographs give people an imaginary possession of a past that is unreal, they also help people to take possession of space in which they are insecure.”
    —Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
