    That’s the nice thing about this job. You get to quote yourself shamelessly. If you don’t, Larry Speakes will.
    Ronald Reagan (b. 1911)

    Professors could silence me then; they had figures, diagrams, maps, books.... I was learning that books and diagrams can be evil things if they deaden the mind of man and make him blind or cynical before subjection of any kind.
    —Agnes Smedley (1890–1950)
