“I saw in their eyes something I was to see over and over in every part of the nation -- a burning desire to go, to move, to get under way, anyplace, away from any Here.

I saw this look and heard this yearning everywhere in every states I visited. Nearly every American hungers to move.”
Travels with Charley: In Search of America • John Steinbeck“The public have an insatiable curiosity to know everything, except what is worth knowing.”
The Soul of Man Under Socialism • Oscar Wilde““It’s always difficult to be born. As you know, the bird must make an effort to break out of the egg. Think back and ask: Was the path really that difficult? Merely difficult? Wasn’t it also beautiful? Could you have thought of a more beautiful or easier one?””
