Whoso would be a man, must be a nonconformist. He who would gather immortal palms must not be hindered by the name of goodness, but must explore if it be goodness. Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind. Absolve you to yourself, and you shall have the suffrage of the world.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Sir Robin Day

People don't have fortunes left them in that style nowadays men have to work and women to marry for money. It's a dreadfully unjust world.

Louisa May Alcott

Language, the machine of the poet, is best fitted for his purpose in its rudest state. Nations, like individuals, first perceive, and then abstract.

Thomas Babington Macaulay
