    “I’m beginning to believe that Killer Illiteracy ought to rank near heart disease and cancer as one of the leading causes of death among Americans. What you don’t know can indeed hurt you, and so those who can neither read nor write lead miserable lives, like Richard Wright’s character, Bigger Thomas, born dead with no past or future.”
    —Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)

    “this is the night, and this the happy time
    When the tinned milk of human kindness is
    Upheld and holed by radio-appeal.”
    —William Robert Rodgers (1909–1969)

    “I wish I loved the Human Race;
    I wish I loved its silly face;
    I wish I liked the way it walks;
    I wish I liked the way it talks;
    And when I’m introduced to one
    I wish I thought What Jolly Fun!”
    —Sir Walter Raleigh (1861–1922)
