“I wanted to eat of the fruit of all the trees in the garden of the world ... And so, indeed, I went out, and so I lived.

"The government was to exist and move by virtue of the efficacy of ‘checks and balances.’ The trouble with the theory is that government is not a machine, but a living thing. No living thing can have its organs offset against each other, as checks, and live." -Woodrow Wilson, 1913
