Our wish for indulgence of every sort, our laxity of manners, our wretched sensitiveness to personal inconvenience, these are suddenly lifted before us in their true guise as the specters of national decay; and we have risen from the lethargy of our dilettantism to lay them, before it is too late, by the flashing of the unsheathed sword. — Sir Edmund Gosse

If we disagree too heartily or over too sensitive an issue, then we pay a price for that. — Bruce Cockburn
