Embodying the honesty and straightforwardness akin to luminaries Lewis Carroll and Galileo, the Aquarius Amulet depicts a maiden gracefully bearing a water jar symbolising truth, purity, and an unyielding spirit that refuses to merely flow with the currents of life. Elegantly adorned with Amethyst, the Aquarius birthstone, this amulet draws its essence from the Latin phrase "not inebriated," symbolising an unwavering commitment to purity and clarity.

The memoir has been highly regarded by the public, military historians and literary critics. Grant portrayed himself in the persona of the honorable Western hero, whose strength lies in his honesty and straightforwardness. He candidly depicted his battles against both the Confederates and internal army foes. Twain called the Memoirs a "literary masterpiece." Given over a century of favorable literary analysis, reviewer Mark Perry states that the Memoirs are "the most significant work" of American non-fiction. "Man proposes and God disposes." There are but few important events in the affairs of men brought about by their own choice. Although frequently urged by friends to write my memoirs I had determined never to do so, nor to write anything for publication. In preparing these volumes for the public, I have entered upon the task with the sincere desire to avoid doing injustice to anyone, whether on the National or Confederate side, other than the unavoidable injustice of not making mention often where special mention is due. Mark Twain writes: I had been comparing the memoirs with Caesar's Commentaries... I was able to say in all sincerity, that the same high merits distinguished both books—clarity of statement, directness, simplicity, unpretentiousness, manifest truthfulness, fairness and justice toward friend and foe alike, soldierly candor and frankness and soldierly avoidance of flowery speech.

Quaker spirituality is the basis for much of contemporary Christian spirituality. Yount makes clear that America would not have become what it is without the profound influence of the Friends.

There was this band in the 1960s, part of the free jazz tradition, that I always really admired: the Jimmy Guiffre Trio with Paul Bley on piano and Steve Swallow on Bass. This trio's music, their subtlety, their sense of space and playful straightforwardness immediacy continues to be of exceptional significance for my musical development. I am fascinated by the seamless connection of improvisation with composition, by the way this music handles space and density, by how it opens a tonal mobility
