“I must learn to walk this long unlovely wintry way, looking for spectacles, shunning the cruel looking-glass, laughing at my clumsiness before others mistakenly condole, not expecting gallantry yet disappointed to receive none, apprehending every ache of shaft of pain, alive to blinding flashes of mortality, unarmed, totally vulnerable.”

Robert Bridges
“If you don't have a good ground organization, the message isn't going to get through, especially on a cold wintry night in January,”

“The schooner Anne and Reuben was used to transport granite from Maine, and some of that helped build the base for the Statue of Liberty.”
Clayton Allen
“One could drive a prairie schooner through any part of his argument and never scrape against a fact.”
David F. Houston
