“Slowly ... the truth is dawning upon women, and still more slowly upon men, that woman is no stepchild of nature, no Cinderella of fate to be dowered only by fairies and the Prince; but that for her and in her, as truly as for and in man, life has wrought its great experiences, its master attainments, its supreme human revelations of the stuff of which worlds are made.”
—Anna Garlin Spencer (1851–1931)

“Professor Fate: My apologies. There’s a polar bear in our car.”

The common fate of all things rare
May read in thee;”
—Edmund Waller (1606–1687)
