“The End of the Raven
"On a night quite unenchanting,
when the rain was downward slanting
I awakened to the ranting
of the man I catch mice for.
Tipsy and a bit unshaven,
in a tone I found quite craven,
Poe was talking to a Raven
perched above the chamber door.
'Raven's very tasty,' thought I,
as I tiptoed o'er the floor.
'There is nothing I like more.'"

“Wherever you see a wall,
demolish it to broaden the
horizons of the world!
Wherever you see a tyrant,
take him down to increase
the light of the world!”

"Happy the generation
where the great listen
to the small, for
it follows that in
such a generation
the small will listen
to the great.
