“Надбягващи се алени звезди блещукаха на кръглия таван и Грейди, напръскана от светлината им, замаяна от техния вихър, потъна в това небе-убежище; някакъв далечен глас от земята стигна до нея: чуваш ли? чу ли как казах, че си аристократка? Като насън си помисли, че гласът е на Клайд, макар че звучеше съвсем като Питър! Косата й се вееше победоносно и палеше пространството. Танцуваха, докато музиката секна, и в същия момент звездите угаснаха.”

“[Truman’s] consistent support for civil rights legislation was a natural consequence of his political origins as an ally of Tom Pendergast, the Kansas City political boss whose machine relied on loyal support from the city’s black wards. In explaining his vote for anti-lynching legislation, Truman told a southern colleague that the “the Negro vote in Kansas City and St. Louis is too important” to vote otherwise.”

“The book was Shelley, and it opened at a passage that he had cherished greatly two years before, and marked as “very good.” “I never was attached to that great sect, Whose doctrine is, that each one should select Out of the crowd a mistress or a friend, And all the rest, though fair and wise, commend To cold oblivion, though it is in the code Of modern morals, and the beaten road Which those poor slaves with weary footsteps tread, Who travel to their home among the dead By the broad highway of the world, and so With one chained friend, perhaps a jealous foe, The dreariest and the longest journey go.”
