—J.G. (James Graham)
“Through a series of gradual power losses, the modern parent is in danger of losing sight of her own child, as well as her own vision and style. It’s a very big price to pay emotionally. Too bad it’s often accompanied by an equally huge price financially.”
—Sonia Taitz (20th century)
“The art of medicine in the season lies:
Wine given in season oft will benefit,
Which out of season injures.”
