—Annie Dillard (b. 1945)
“The time must come, my friend ... when brutality and the lust for power must perish by its own sword.... For when that day comes, the world must begin to look for a new life, and it is our hope that they may find it here. For here we shall be, with their books, and their music, and a way of life based on one simple rule: Be kind.”
—Robert Riskin (1897–1955)
“O, what authority and show of truth
Can cunning sin cover itself withal!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
