    “Words can have no single fixed meaning. Like wayward electrons, they can spin away from their initial orbit and enter a wider magnetic field. No one owns them or has a proprietary right to dictate how they will be used.”
    —David Lehman (b. 1948)

    “... this I conceive to be no time to prate of moral influences. Our men’s nerves require their accustomed narcotics and a glass of whiskey is a powerful friend in a sunstroke, and these poor fellows fall senseless on their heavy drills.”
    —Clara Barton (1821–1912)

    “One of the most important things we adults can do for young children is to model the kind of person we would like them to be.”
