    “After eleven years I was composing
    Love-letters again, broaching the word ‘wife’
    Like a stored cask,”
    —Seamus Heaney (b. 1939)

    “It is easier to move rivers and mountains than to change a person’s basic nature.”
    —Chinese proverb.

    “Americans have internalized the value that mothers of young children should be mothers first and foremost, and not paid workers. The result is that a substantial amount of confusion, ambivalence, guilt, and anxiety is experienced by working mothers. Our cultural expectations of mother and realities of female participation in the labor force are directly contradictory.”
    —Ruth E. Zambrana, U.S. researcher, M. Hurst, and R.L. Hite. “The Working Mother in Contemporary Perspectives: A Review of Literature,” Pediatrics (December 1979)
