"The past is so often unknowable because it is befogged now but it is befogged then, too, back when it was the present. If we had been there listening we still might not have been able to determine exactly what Stanton said. All we know for sure is that everyone was weeping and the room was full."
Adam Gopnick American Writer
"What is uttered in a room where people grieve is heard among a din of voices of prayer, condolences, bereavement, pain, and love. It is not strange that words are mingled, misunderstood, forgotten, misquoted, and cherished in one form or another." M. Beatty
