“I find it profoundly symbolic that I am appearing before a committee of fifteen men who will report to a legislative body of one hundred men because of a decision handed down by a court comprised of nine men—on an issue that affects millions of women....

—Letty Cottin Pogrebin (20th century)
“We have seen the city; it is the gibbous
Mirrored eye of an insect. All things happen
On its balcony and are resumed within,
But the action is the cold, syrupy flow
Of a pageant.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“He fashions evil for himself who does evil to another, and an evil plan does mischief to the planner.”
—Hesiod (c. 8th century B.C.)
