 "I view tea drinking as a destroyer of health, an enfeebler of the frame…a debaucher of youth…. Thus he makes that miserable progress towards  death which he finds ten or fifteen years sooner than he would have found it if he had made his wife brew beer instead of making tea."
--William Cobbett, 1821

"A conversation...is given shape by the lifetime of events and ideas that preceded it. There's no need to go fishing for the past; it will make itself known." --David Greenberger
