Those who have mastered etiquette, who are entirely, impeccably right, would seem to arrive at a point of exquisite dullness.

—Dorothy Parker (1893–1967)
“The passion rebuilds the world for the youth. It makes all things alive and significant.”

“The formation of an oppositional world view is necessary for feminist struggle. This means that the world we have most intimately known, the world in which we feel “safe” ... must be radically changed.

—Bell (c. 1955)
“The award of a pure gold medal for poetry would flatter the recipient unduly: no poem ever attains such carat purity.”
