Jeffrey Kluger

Ambrose Bierce

Write on my gravestone: Infidel, Traitor.--infidel to every church that compromises with wrong; traitor to every government that oppresses the people.

Mark Twain

I do not call the sod under my feet my country; but language -- religion -- government -- blood -- identity in these makes men of one country.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge
