    —John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)

    “The captain sat in a commodore’s hat
    And dined in a royal way
    On toasted pigs and pickles and figs
    And gummery bread each day.”
    —Charles Edward Carryl (1841–1920)

    “Give me the eye to see a navy in an acorn. What is there of the divine in a load of bricks? What of the divine in a barber’s shop or a privy? Much, all.”
