    “How is freedom measured, in individuals as in nations? By the resistance which has to be overcome, by the effort it costs to stay aloft.

    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “So vulnerable.
    She is already trampled, that one,
    having traveled so far from the heart.
    She weighs so little.
    She is so light and vulnerable.
    She is the dead bee called love.”

    —Mrs. H. O. Ward (1824–1899)
