    —Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    “There are many examples of women that have excelled in learning, and even in war, but this is no reason we should bring ‘em all up to Latin and Greek or else military discipline, instead of needle-work and housewifry.”
    —Bernard Mandeville (1670–1733)

    “No rules exist, and examples are simply life-savers answering the appeals of rules making vain attempts to exist.”
