    “The working woman may be quick to see any problems with children as her fault because she isn’t as available to them. However, the fact that she is employed is rarely central to the conflict. And overall, studies show, being employed doesn’t have negative effects on children; carefully done research consistently makes this clear.”
    —Grace Baruch (20th century)

    “Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.”
    —Bible: New Testament Matthew 10:34.

    “The monument of death will outlast the memory of the dead. The Pyramids do not tell the tale which was confided to them; the living fact commemorates itself.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
