—D.H. (David Herbert)

Social feminists [in Europe] ... believe that men and society at large should provide systematic support to women in recognition of their dual role as mothers and workers.”

“Art is the imposing of a pattern on experience, and our aesthetic enjoyment is recognition of the pattern.”
