    —David Hume (1711–1776)

    “Any woman who chooses to behave like a full human being should be warned that the armies of the status quo will treat her as something of a dirty joke. That’s their natural and first weapon. She will need her sisterhood.”
    —Gloria Steinem (b. 1934)

    “Would not some lightning flash of vision sear people’s consciousness into life again? What was the good of stopping the war if armies continued?”
    —John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
