Edward Albee
"Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?"
I will do whatever I possibly can to save us from the forces of darkness that are trying to take over our democracy, and that I believe we are a slowly, peacefully evolving revolutionary society. That's what we were formed as by the merchant class, and that's why it should be a peacefully evolving society. I try to keep us awake to the fact that democracy demands informed voting, and that democracy is fragile. And, if we don't stay on top of things we'll get what we deserve -- as we seem to be doing right now.

Stephen Ambrose
Biographer and Historian
One of my favorite lines was given to Dwight Eisenhower by his father, who by any standard was not a great success in life. He raised five boys successfully in Abilene, but David Eisenhower never had an extra $10 bill in his pocket in his life. He was very ashamed when he died, that he had no estate to hand on to his children. There was nothing there, and yet he gave them a priceless heritage of course, and a big part of that was this advice that he gave to his son Dwight, and to his other sons, all of whom were also very successful in their own fields. And that advice was, "America is the land of opportunity, reach out and seize it." And it still is, and pray God always will be. So long as this republic lasts, it will be.
