Posted this on Facebook last wk, why Heinlein was the Dean .....“Victory in defeat, there is none higher. She didn't give up, Ben; she's still trying to lift that stone even after it has crushed her. She's a father working while cancer eats away his insides, to bring home one more pay check. She's a twelve-year-old trying to mother her brothers and sisters because mama had to go to Heaven. She's a switchboard operator sticking to her post while smoke chokes her and fire cuts off her escape. She's all the unsung heroes who couldn't make it but never quit.”

Robert Heinlein, Stranger in a Strange Land, Jubal Harshaw commenting on Auguste Rodin's bronze
sculpture masterpiece, 'Fallen Caryatid' ( see, sounds like something Solon would write? ;)
