    "The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong in the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry."

    Heroes ride to heaven,
    the public merely rots,
    for a fraction of forever,
    in a designated plot.

    But this small plot in this quiet spot,
    Is all the land this Yankee got.

    "The central conservative truth is that it is culture, not politics, that determines the success of a society. The central liberal truth is that politics can change a culture and save it from itself."
