“He hung out of the window a long while looking up and down the street. The world’s second metropolis. In the brick houses and the dingy lamplight and the voices of a group of boys kidding and quarreling on the steps of a house opposite, in the regular firm tread of a policeman, he felt a marching like soldiers, like a sidewheeler going up the Hudson under the Palisades, like an election parade, through long streets towards something tall white full of colonnades and stately. Metropolis.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“You shall love peace as a means to new wars—and the short peace more than the long one.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“With men he can be rational and unaffected, but when he has ladies to please, every feature works.”
—Jane Austen (1775–1817)
