“If we should swap a good library for a second-rate stump speech and not ask for boot, it would be thoroughly in tune with our hearts. For deep within each of us lies politics.

We enjoy it; we will hitch up and drive for miles in order to hear and applaud the vitriolic phrases of a candidate we have already reckoned we’ll vote against.”
—Federal Writers’ Project Of The Wor, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“Not being able to control events, I control myself; and I adapt myself to them, if they do not adapt themselves to me.”

—Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. (1841–1935)
