Oscar Wilde
“Of course, now and then things linger...The charm of the past is that it is the past.”
Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

David McCullough
“Then, in the way of a fatherly sermon, he added, 'We learn much by tribulation, and by adversity our hearts are made better.”
David McCullough, The Wright Brothers

John Steinbeck
“Strangers talked freely to one another without caution. I had forgotten how rich and beautiful is the countryside--the deep topsoil, the wealth of great trees, the lake country of Michigan handsome as a well-made woman, and dressed and jeweled. It seemed to me that the earth is generous and outgoing here in the heartland, and perhaps the people took a cue from it.”
John Steinbeck, Travels with Charley: In Search of America

John Steinbeck
“This sounds as though I bemoan an older time, which is the preoccupation of the old, or cultivate an opposition to change, which is the currency of the rich and stupid. It is not so. This Seattle was not something changed that I once knew. It was a new thing. Set down there not knowing it was Seattle, I could not have told where I was. Everywhere frantic growth, a carcinomatous growth. Bulldozers rolled up the green forests and heaped the resulting trash for burning. The torn white lumber from concrete forms was piled beside gray walls. I wonder why progress looks so much like destruction.”
John Steinbeck, Travels with Charley: In Search of America

Malcolm X
“The next day I was in my car driving along the freeway when at a red light another car pulled alongside. A white woman was driving and on the passenger's side, next to me, was a white man. "Malcolm X!" he called out--and when I looked, he stuck his hand out of his car, across at me, grinning. "Do you mind shaking hands with a white man?" Imagine that! Just as the traffic light turned green, I told him, "I don't mind shaking hands with human beings. Are you one?”
Malcolm X, The Autobiography of Malcolm X
