In Germany, they came first for the Communists. I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist. Then they came for the trade unionists. I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews. I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew. Then they came for me…and by that time there was no one left to speak up.

FRANNY & ZOOEY, J.D. SALINGER: (Zooey) closed the door (to Buddy’s and Seymour’s room)... he turned around and...faced a sheet of...beaverboard that was nailed... to the back of the door. Every inch of..the board had been decorated, with four somewhat gorgeous-looking columns of quotations from a variety of the world's literatures... Hence, a blog called "Beaverboard Saws" (Suggestions welcome.)
