    “I quietly declare war with the State, after my fashion, though I will still make use and get advantage of her as I can, as is usual in such cases.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “... how have I used rivers, how have I used wars
    to escape writing of the worst thing of all—
    not the crimes of other, not even our own death,
    but the failure to want our freedom passionately enough
    so that blighted elms, sick rivers, massacres would seem
    mere emblems of that desecration of ourselves?”
    —Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

    “Yes, having a child is surely the most beautifully irrational act that two people in love can commit.”
    —Bill Cosby (20th century)
