 * THE AMERICAN SCAPEGOAT**

"All of our waste which we dumped on her and which she absorbed. And all of our beauty, which was hers first and which she gave to us. All of us--all who knew her--felt so wholesome after we cleaned ourselves on her. We were so beautiful astride her ugliness."
 * -Toni Morrison, "The Bluest Eye"**

"...she fancied, then, that the scarlet letter had endowed her with a new sense. She shuddered to believe, yet could not help believing, that it gave her a sympathetic knowledge of the hidden sin in other hearts."
 * -Nathaniel Hawthorne, "The Scarlet Letter"
