“While I do not think it was so intended I have always been of the opinion that this turned out to be much the best for me. I had no national experience. What I have ever been able to do has been the result of first learning how to do it. I am not gifted with intuition. I need not only hard work but experience to be ready to solve problems.

—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)

—Angela Carter (1940–1992)

—Martha Nussbaum (b. 1947)
