Mark Twain
“Dear, dear, it only shows that there is nothing diviner about a king than there is about a tramp, after all. He is just a cheap and hollow artificiality when you don't know he is a king. But reveal his quality, and dear me it takes your very breath away to look at him. I reckon we are all fools. Born so, no doubt.”
― Mark Twain, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court

Thomas E. Ricks
“More than anything else, I have learned in researching this book that America is a moving target, a goal that must always be pursued but never quite reached.”
― Thomas E. Ricks, First Principles: What America's Founders Learned from the Greeks and Romans and How That Shaped Our Country
