“In America a woman loses her independence for ever in the bonds of matrimony. While there is less constraint on girls there than anywhere else, a wife submits to stricter obligations.

—Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)

“The value of life lies not in the length of days but in the use you make of them; he has lived for a long time who has little lived.”
