    I want that head so sanitary and squared away that the Virgin Mary herself would be proud to go in there and take a dump.
    Stanley Kubrick (b. 1928)

    The woman who does her job for society inside the four walls of her home must not be considered by her husband or anyone else an economic “dependent,” reaching out her hands in mendicant fashion for financial help.
    —Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)

    It is ... pathetic to observe the complete lack of imagination on the part of certain employers and men and women of the upper-income levels, equally devoid of experience, equally glib with their criticism ... directed against workers, labor leaders, and other villains and personal devils who are the objects of their dart-throwing. Who doesn’t know the wealthy woman who fulminates against the “idle” workers who just won’t get out and hunt jobs?
    —Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
