"I was reading last night of the aspiration of the old Persian poet, Omar-Khayyam. It appealed to me as the highest that I can vision. I wish it was in my heart, and I wish it was in the hearts of all: So I be written in the Book of Love; I do not care about that Book above. Erase my name, or write it as you will, So I be written in the Book of Love." -the closing case for mercy in a murder trial
