Why, only last week, on Fifth Avenue and some cross streets, I noticed that every feminine citizen of these United States wore an artificial posy on her coat or gown. I came home and ripped off every one of the really lovely refrigerator blossoms that were sewn on my own bodices.”
    —Carolyn Wells (1862–1942)

    “A lifetime [or, eternity] is a child playing, playing checkers; the kingdom belongs to a child.”
    —Heraclitus (c. 535–475 B.C.)
