We have no especially sacred traditions; except for what someone somehow pieces together from old books. There are bookish dreams here, sir, there is a heart chafed by theories.

“I did what I could.”
—   Edward Paul Abbey (1927-1989)

“Come Lord Jesu, come quickly, finish in me the work that Thou has begun; into Thy hands, O Lord, I commend my spirit, for Thou has redeemed me. O God of truth, save me Thy servant, who hopes and confides in Thee alone; let Thy mercy, O Lord, be shewn unto me; in Thee have I trusted, O Lord, let me not be confounded for ever.”
—   Robert Abbot (1560-1617)

“I can’t admit it, Doc. Think of what that would do to my mother. She could not take it.”

“I am not afraid to die.”

“I have now reigned above fifty years in victory or peace; beloved by my subjects, dreaded by my enemies, and respected by my allies. Riches, honor, power and pleasure have waited on my call, nor does any earthy blessing appear to have been wanting for my felicity. In this situation I have diligently numbered the days of pure and genuine happiness which have fallen to my lot and they amount to FOURTEEN - O man! Place not thy confidence in this present world!”
—   Umayyad Abd-Ar-Rahman III (891-961)
