“For the writer, there is nothing quite like having someone say that he or she understands, that you have reached them and affected them with what you have written.

It is our need to know we are not alone.”

—Martin Buber (1878–1965)
“Clearly, society has a tremendous stake in insisting on a woman’s natural fitness for the career of mother: the alternatives are all too expensive.”
