Edith Hamilton
“I came to the Greeks early, and I found answers in them. Greece's great men let all their acts turn on the immortality of the soul. We don't really act as if we believed in the soul's immortality and that's why we are where we are today.”
Edith Hamilton

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
