    “It is singular to look round upon a country where the dreams of sages, smiled at as utopian, seem distinctly realized, a people voluntarily submitting to laws of their own imposing, with arms in their hands respecting the voice of a government which their breath created and which their breath could in a moment destroy!”
    —Frances Wright (1795–1852)

    “Those people have no real interest in a science who only begin to get excited about it when they themselves have made discoveries in it.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “...I have not found that the people who cling to the letter are always the people who cling to the spirit of the law.”
    —Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
