At no point do I wish to be in conflict with any man or masculine thought. It doesn't enter my consciousness. Art is anonymous. It's not competitive with men. It's a complementary contribution.

The point I wish to make is this: [President William] McKinley gave Rowan a letter to be delivered to Garcia; Rowan took the letter & did not ask, “Where is he at?” By the Eternal! there is a man whose form should be cast in deathless bronze & the statue placed in every college of the land. It is not book-learning young men need, nor instruction about this and that, but a stiffening of the vertebrae which will cause them to be loyal to a trust, to act promptly, concentrate their energies: do the thing—“Carry a message to Garcia!”

It was clearly a major point of discussion and you would wish that everybody would have voluntarily complied with the spirit of what was being discussed.

I wish I was a teenager in the 1970s.

I wish you a tolerable Thursday. That's all any of us can hope for.

I wish it to be remembered that I was the last man of my tribe to surrender my rifle.
