In a world older and more complete than ours they move finished and complete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren, they are not underlings; they are other nations caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendour and travail of the earth. — Henry Beston

We can be happy right now, but we still have a task at hand, and that after an hour or two we will focus on Mexico. — Ernie Whitt
