Whole as the marble, founded as the rock,
As broad and general as the casing air.

To saucy doubts and fears.”

“During our twenties...we act toward the new adulthood the way sociologists tell us new waves of immigrants acted on becoming Americans: we adopt the host culture’s values in an exaggerated and rigid fashion until we can rethink them and make them our own. Our idea of what adults are and what we’re supposed to be is composed of outdated childhood concepts brought forward.”
—Roger Gould (20th century)
“The husbands of very beautiful women belong to the criminal classes.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“The hour when you say, “What does my justice matter? I do not see that I am embers and coals. But the just are embers and coals!””
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
