“That Calvinistic sense of Innate Depravity and Original Sin, from whose visitations, in some shape or another, no deeply thinking mind is always and wholly free.

—Herman Melville (1819–1891)

“I have always been of the mind that in a democracy manners are the only effective weapons against the bowie-knife.”
