Nothing happens unless first we dream.

Life is like an onion; you peel it off one layer at a time, and sometimes you weep.

Carl Sandburg (1878-1967) was an American writer and journalist.  Many of his works centered around poetry (he preferred “free verse’) and writing biographies.  One of his most well-received biographies was about American President Abraham Lincoln.  He received three Pulitzer Prizes (two for poetry and one for his Lincoln biography).  Sandburg was born in Galesburg, Illinois.
