—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“The one duty we owe to history is to rewrite it.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

“At present cats have more purchasing power and influence than the poor of this planet. Accidents of geography and colonial history should no longer determine who gets the fish.”
—Derek Wall (b. 1965)
