    ... feminism is the attempt of women to grow up, to accept the responsibilities of life, to outgrow those characteristics of childhood—selfishness and unworldliness—that we require our boys to outgrow, but that we permit and by our social system encourage our girls to retain.

    Anna: I’m getting married.
    Stephen: Oh. Who to?
    Anna: William.

    —Harold Pinter (b. 1930)

    It is not true that there is dignity in all work. Some jobs are definitely better than others.... People who have good jobs are happy, rich, and well dressed.

    Fran Lebowitz (b. 1950)
