    What man dare, I dare.
    Approach thou like the rugged Russian bear,

    Shall never tremble. Or be alive again
    And dare me to the desert with thy sword.

    Hate-hardened heart, O heart of iron,
    iron is iron till it is rust.
    There never was a war that was
    not inward; I must
    fight till I have conquered in myself what
    causes war, but I would not believe it.
    Marianne Moore (1887–1972)

    The aftermath of joy is not usually more joy.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
