I wish to make an extreme statement, if so I may make an emphatic one, for there are enough champions of civilization: the minister and the school committee and every one of you will take care of that.”
—Henry David David (1817–1862)

“My constituency is the desperate, the damned, the disinherited, the disrespected and the despised.”
