    —John Colton (1886–1946)

    “Still, I am prepared for this voyage, and for anything else you may care to mention.
    Not that I am not afraid, but there is very little time left.
    You have probably made travel arrangements, and know the feeling.
    Suddenly, one morning, the little train arrives in the station, but oh, so big
    It is! Much bigger and faster than anyone told you.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    “True, we’re not great thieves, like the nobles. Our robberies are petty compared to the wholesale plunder of the nation.”
    —Sonya Levien (1895–1960)
