“I, with other Americans, have perhaps unduly resented the stream of criticism of American life ... more particularly have I resented the sneers at Main Street. For I have known that in the cottages that lay behind the street rested the strength of our national character.”
—Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
“In the long course of history, having people who understand your thought is much greater security than another submarine.”

“of artists dying in childbirth, wise-women charred at the stake,
centuries of books unwritten piled behind these shelves;

called civilization, this act of translation, this half-world.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
