“I love you. I’ve loved you since the first moment I saw you. I guess maybe I even loved you before I saw you.”
—Michael Wilson (1914–1978)
“Society’s double behavioral standard for women and for men is, in fact, a more effective deterrent than economic discrimination because it is more insidious, less tangible. Economic disadvantages involve ascertainable amounts, but the very nature of societal value judgments makes them harder to define, their effects harder to relate.”
—Anne Tucker (b. 1945)
