—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Today, the degradation of the inner life is symbolized by the fact that the only place sacred from interruption is the private toilet.”

“I doubt that I would have taken so many leaps in my own writing or been as clear about my feminist and political commitments if I had not been anointed as early as I was. Some major form of recognition seems to have to mark a woman’s career for her to be able to go out on a limb without having her credentials questioned.”
—Ruth Behar (b. 1956)
