“The farmer imagines power and place are fine things. But the President has paid dear for his White House. It has commonly cost him all his peace, and the best of his manly attributes.

—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“The Cold War began with the division of Europe. It can only end when Europe is whole.”
