AP American History with Mr. Eicher.
Time is something the white man made up that now has him trapped.
Mr. Eicher quoting a Native American friend.
For a long time I couldn't decide whether the original settlers of Nebraska were insane or just stupid, and then I saw a stadium full of University of Nebraska football fans in action on a Saturday and realized that they must have been both... The University of Nebraska didn't so much play football as engage in weeekly ritual slaughters... Watching Nebraska playt football every week was like watching hyenas tearing open a gazelle.
-- Bill Bryson
a native of Des Moines, Iowa, in "The Lost Continent," 1989.

-- Emerson
The true test of civilization is, not the census, nor the size of cities, nor the crops -- no, but the kind of man the country turns out.

-- Thoreau
I never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude.
-- Thoreau
