    The liberals can understand everything but people who don’t understand them.
    —Lenny Bruce (1925–1966)

    I acknowledge that the balance I have achieved between work and family roles comes at a cost, and every day I must weigh whether I live with that cost happily or guiltily, or whether some other lifestyle entails trade-offs I might accept more readily. It is always my choice: to change what I cannot tolerate, or tolerate what I cannot—or will not—change.
    —Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
