    It is to be presumed, that a man of common sense, who does not desire to please, desires nothing at all; since he must know that he cannot obtain anything without it.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    I was always a feminist, for I liked intellectual revolt as much as I disliked physical violence. On the whole, I think women have lost something precious, but have gained, immeasurably, by the passing of the old order.
    —Ellen Glasgow (1873–1945)
