Charles Caleb Colton
“If you would not be forgotton as soon as you are dead and rotten, Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing.”
Benjamin Franklin

Ralph Waldo Emerson
“No good opera plot can be sensible, for people do not sing when they are feeling sensible.”
W. H. Auden
“Each morning, on the reality tree's branch towards the people, I listen to the bird of hope.”
Mariana Fulger

Cullen Hightower
“The idea of people who are educated by the state having an obligation to contribute to society is perfectly sensible. But this is an extreme measure that undermines the right of people to leave any country including their own. It is one of the most effective tools Cuban authorities have for intimidating people critical of the government.”
