    “Do not be discouraged, if in a thousand instances you find your kindness rejected and wronged, your good evil-spoken of, and the hand you extend for the relief of others, cast insultingly away; the benevolence which cannot outlive these trials of its purity and strength, is not like the self-sacrifice of him, who went about doing good.”
    —C., U.S. women’s magazine contributor. American Ladies Magazine, pp. 331-4 (July 1828)

    “Why, what a candy deal of courtesy
    This fawning greyhound then did proffer me!”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “In not having an appointment at Harvard, I’m in the company of a great many people whose work I admire tremendously, in particular women of color.”
    —Catharine MacKinnon (b. 1946)
