“We know of no scripture which records the pure benignity of the gods on a New England winter night. Their praises have never been sung, only their wrath deprecated. The best scripture, after all, records but a meagre faith. Its saints live reserved and austere. Let a brave, devout man spend the year in the woods of Maine or Labrador, and see if the Hebrew Scriptures speak adequately to his condition and experience.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“White people really deal more with God and black people with Jesus.”
—Nikki Giovanni (b. 1943)
“For Virtue in her daily Race,
Like Janus bears a double Face;
Looks back with Joy where she has gone,
And therefore goes with Courage on.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
“At most, the greatest persons are but great wens, and excrescences; men of wit and delightfull conversation, but as moales for ornament, except they be so incorporated into the body of the world that they contribute something to the sustentation of the whole.”
—John Donne (c. 1572–1631)
“Not to like ice cream is to show oneself uninterested in food.”
