About Me


"If once they [the people] become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, Judges and Governors, shall all become wolves." --Thomas Jefferson
"...But the artist appeals to that part of our being which is not dependent on wisdom: to that in us which is a gift and not an acquisition---and, therefore, more permanently enduring. He speaks to our capacity for delight and wonder, to the sense of mystery surrounding our lives; to our sense of pity, and beauty, and pain; to the latent feeling of fellowship with all creation---and to the subtle but invincible conviction of solidarity that knits together the loneliness of innumerable hearts, to the solidarity in dreams, in joy, in sorrow in aspirations, in illusions, in hopes, in fear, which binds men to each other, which binds together all humanity---the dead to the living and the living and the living to the unborn."
--Joseph Conrad, 1897
