“We were young, we were merry, we were very very wise,

And a man with his back to the East.”

—Donald Hall (b. 1928)
“At first, it must be remembered, that [women] can never accomplish anything until they put womanhood ahead of wifehood, and make motherhood the highest office on the social scale.”
