“Well, Pa, a woman can change better than a man. A man lives, sort of, well, in jerks. A baby’s born or somebody dies and that’s a jerk. He gets a farm or loses it and that’s a jerk. With a woman, it’s all in one flow, like a stream. Little eddies and waterfalls, but the river, it goes right on. A woman looks at it that way.”
—Nunnally Johnson (1897–1977)

“It may be that the most interesting American struggle is the struggle to set oneself free from the limits one is born to, and then to learn something of the value of those limits.”
