    Poverty was an ornament on a learned man like a red ribbon on a white horse.
    Anzia Yezierska (c. 1881–1970)

    Bring me an axe and spade,
    Bring me a winding-sheet;
    When I my grave have made
    Let winds and tempests beat:
    Then down I’ll lie as cold as clay.
    True love doth pass away!
    William Blake (1757–1827)

    Los Angeles is a Yukon for crime-story writers.
    Christina Stead (1902–1983)

    A route differs from a road not only because it is solely intended for vehicles, but also because it is merely a line that connects one point with another. A route has no meaning in itself; its meaning derives entirely from the two points that it connects. A road is a tribute to space. Every stretch of road has meaning in itself and invites us to stop. A route is the triumphant devaluation of space, which thanks to it has been reduced to a mere obstacle to human movement and a waste of time.
    Milan Kundera (b. 1929)

    I do not think a revival of business will be greatly postponed by [Samuel J.] Tilden’s election. Business prosperity does not, in my judgment, depend on government so much as men commonly think.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
