en I've never seen a monument erected to a pessimist.
  Paul Harvey

en We do not know when he was born, nor exactly when he died. We do not know what he looked like. We cannot visit his home, because it went up in flames long ago.

He was -- or so it appeared -- a forgotten man.

  Ambrose Bierce

en I came to the conclusion that the optimist thought everything good except the pessimist, and that the pessimist thought everything bad, except himself.

en It's not an imposed idea at all. Not like the Washington Monument, an Egyptian idea. Not like the Jefferson and Lincoln memorials, Greek or Roman or copies of other times. It's a place that is of this time, of this era. I think of it as an American monument to a great American president.
