    Home is my Bethlehem,
    my succoring shelter,
    my mental hospital,
    my wife, my dam,
    my husband, my sir,
    my womb, my skull.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    The first year was critical to my assessment of myself as a person. It forced me to realize that, like being married, having children is not an end in itself. You don’t at last arrive at being a parent and suddenly feel satisfied and joyful. It is a constantly reopening adventure.
    —Anonymous Mother. From the Boston Women’s Health Book Collection. Quoted in The Joys of Having a Child, by Bill and Gloria Adler (1993)

    A University should be a place of light, of liberty, and of learning.
    Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)

    Whenever any form of government shall become destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, & to institute new government, laying it’s foundation on such principles & organising it’s powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety & happiness.
    Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
