| Quote of the moment |
| Thus with the year Seasons return; but not to me returns Day, or the sweet approach of even or morn, Or sight of vernal bloom or summer's rose, Or flocks, or herds, or human face divine; But cloud instead, and ever-during dark Surrounds me; from the cheerful ways of men Cut off, and for the book of knowledge fair Presented with a universal blank Of Nature's works, to me expung'd and raz'd, And wisdom at one entrance quite shut out. |
| ~ John Milton, Paradise Lost. Book iii. Line 40. ~ |

| They are damn good projectsexcellent projects. That goes for all the projects up there. You know some people make fun of people who speak a foreign language, and dumb people criticize something they do not understand, and that is what is going on up thereGod damn it! |
| ~ HARRY L. HOPKINS, head of the Works Progress Administration, in a statement defending the Federal Arts Project at a press conference, April 4, 1935.Robert E. Sherwood, Roosevelt and Hopkins, p. 60 (1948). Sherwood says, The reports of this conference quoted Hopkins as saying that the people are too damned dumb, and this phrase was given plenty of circulation in the press (p. 61). He adds in a footnote that it will be seen from the transcript of his remarks that this particular statement was directed not at the people but at the critical orators (p. 938). ~ |
