    “But O, young beauty of the woods,
    Whom Nature courts with fruits and flowers,
    Gather the flowers, but spare the buds;

    To kill her infants in their prime,
    Do quickly make the example yours;
    And ere we see,
    Nip in the blossom all our hopes and thee.”
    —Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)

    “If God had an agent, the world wouldn’t be built yet. It’d only be about Thursday.”
