    “Men insist that they don’t mind women succeeding so long as they retain their “femininity”. Yet the qualities that men consider “feminine”Mtimidity, submissiveness, obedience, silliness, and self-debasement—are the very qualities best guaranteed to assure the defeat of even the most gifted aspirant.”
    —Elizabeth Gould Davis (b. 1910)

    “Stilled legendary depth:
    It was as deep as England: it held
    Pike too immense to stir, so immense and old
    That past nightfall I dared not cast”
    —Ted Hughes (b. 1930)
