    “Slavery is no scholar, no improver; it does not love the whistle of the railroad; it does not love the newspaper, the mail-bag, a college, a book or a preacher who has the absurd whim of saying what he thinks; it does not increase the white population; it does not improve the soil; everything goes to decay.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Discourse on virtue and they pass by in droves, whistle and dance the shimmy, and you’ve got an audience.”
    —Diogenes of Sinope (c. 410–320 B.C.)

    “By whatever means it is accomplished, the prime business of a play is to arouse the passions of its audience so that by the route of passion may be opened up new relationships between a man and men, and between men and Man. Drama is akin to the other inventions of man in that it ought to help us to know more, and not merely to spend our feelings.”
    —Arthur Miller (b. 1915)
