"A city that outdistances man's walking powers is a trap for man."
~Arnold Toynbee, historian (1889-1975)

"Today I bent the truth to be kind, and I have no regret, for I am far surer of what is kind than I am of what is true."
~Robert Brault, software developer, writer (1938- )

"It takes a certain maturity of mind to accept that nature works as steadily in rust as in rose petals."
~Esther Warner Dendel, writer and artist (1910-2002)
