    “O ruddier than the cherry,
    O sweeter than the berry,
    O Nymph more bright
    Than moonshine night,
    Like kidlings blithe and merry.
    Ripe as the melting cluster,
    No lily has such lustre,
    Yet hard to tame,
    As raging flame,
    And fierce as storms that bluster.”
    —John Gay (1685–1732)

    “I philosophize from the vantage point only of our own
    provincial conceptual scheme and scientific epoch, true; but I know no better.”
    —Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)

    “The search for conspiracy only increases the elements of morbidity and paranoia and fantasy in this country. It romanticizes crimes that are terrible because of their lack of purpose. It obscures our necessary understanding, all of us, that in this life there is often tragedy without reason.”
    —Anthony Lewis (b. 1927)
