    “One touch of nature makes the whole world kin,
    That all, with one consent, praise new-born gauds.
    And give to dust that is a little gilt
    More laud than gilt o’er dusted;
    The present eye praises the present object.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Because of our social circumstances, male and female are really two cultures and their life experiences are utterly different.”
    —Kate Millet (b. 1934)
