“The arbitrary division of one’s life into weeks and days and hours seemed, on the whole, useless. There was but one day for the men, and that was pay day, and one for the women, and that was rent day. As for the children, every day was theirs, just as it should be in every corner of the world.”
—Alice Caldwell Rice (1870–1942)
“America is not a young land: it is old and dirty and evil before the settlers, before the Indians. The evil is there waiting.”
—William Burroughs (b. 1914)
