- - Mark Twain, Roughing It (p. iv)
Every fool aspired to be a knave
Give fools their gold, and knaves their power; let fortune's bubbles rise and fall; who sows a field, or trains a flower, or plants a tree, is more than all.
- -John Greenleaf Whittier
Gradually it was disclosed to me that the line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either—but right through every human heart—and through all human hearts. This line shifts. Inside us, it oscillates with the years. And even within hearts overwhelmed by evil, one small bridgehead of good is retained. And even in the best of all hearts, there remains… an unuprooted small corner of evil.
- -Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. From The Gulag Archipelago, Part 4, Chapter 1, “The Ascent”
