““The wonder is I didn’t see at once.
I never noticed it from here before.

The little graveyard where my people are!...””

“The first requisite of a good citizen in this republic of ours is that he shall be able and willing to pull his weight.”

“In a country where misery and want were the foundation of the social structure, famine was periodic, death from starvation common, disease pervasive, thievery normal, and graft and corruption taken for granted, the elimination of these conditions in Communist China is so striking that negative aspects of the new rule fade in relative importance.”
—Barbara Tuchman (1912–1989)
