“Belonging to a group can provide the child with a variety of resources that an individual friendship often cannot—a sense of collective participation, experience with organizational roles, and group support in the enterprise of growing up.

—Zick Rubin (20th century)
“Holofernes. He is too picked, too spruce, too affected, too odd as it were, too peregrinate as I may call it.
Sir Nathaniel. A most singular and choice epithet.”
