"There is a fatality, a feeling so irresistible and inevitable that it has the force of doom, which almost invariably compels human beings to linger around and haunt, ghostlike, the spot where some great and marked event has given the color to their lifetime; and still the more irresistibly, the darker the tinge that saddens it."
- Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804 – 1864), American writer: "The Scarlet Letter", 1850.
"Enlighten the people generally, and tyranny and oppressions of body and mind will vanish like evil spirits at the dawn of day."
- Thomas Jefferson (1743 – 1826), American Democratic President: letter to Du Pont de Nemours, April 24, 1816.
"There is danger from all men. The only maxim of a free government ought to be to trust no man living with power to endanger the public liberty."
- John Adams (1735 – 1826), : Notes for an Oration at Braintree, Massachusetts, Spring 1772.
