Gamblers, ignoring their sensitive fingers, shook hands with shoeshine boys.... Beauticians spoke to the shipyard workers, who in turn spoke to the easy ladies.... I thought if war did not include killing, I’d like to see one every year. Something like a festival.”
    —Maya Angelou (b. 1928)

    always
    at our finger tips.
    We will it so
    and so it is
    past all accident.”
