    “We spent them not in toys, in lusts, or wine,
    But search of deep Philosophy,
    Wit, Eloquence, and Poetry,
    Arts which I loved, for they, my Friend, were thine.”
    —Abraham Cowley (1618–1667)

    “You that do search for every purling spring
    Which from the ribs of old Parnassus flows,
    And every flower, not sweet perhaps, which grows
    Near thereabouts into your poesy wring;
    You that do dictionary’s method bring
    Into your rhymes, running in rattling rows;”
    —Sir Philip Sidney (1554–1586)

    “Man is eminently a storyteller. His search for a purpose, a cause, an ideal, a mission and the like is largely a search for a plot and a pattern in the development of his life story—a story that is basically without meaning or pattern.”
    —Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
