"If any ambitious man have a fancy to……" — Edgar Allan Poe

"If any ambitious man have a fancy to revolutionize, at one effort, the universal world of human thought, human opinion, and human sentiment, the opportunity is his own -- the road to immortal renown lies straight, open, and unencumbered before him.

— Edgar Allan Poe
