—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
“We’ve become a race of Peeping Toms. What people oughta do is get outside their own house and look in for a change.”

“It’s always the generals with the bloodiest records who are the first to shout what a hell it is. And it’s always the war widows who lead the Memorial Day parades.”
