    “Feminism is an entire world view or gestalt, not just a laundry list of women’s issues.”

    “Lastly, his tomb

    “If intercourse gives you thrombosis
    And continence causes neurosis,
    I’d rather expire
    Fulfilling desire
    Than live in a state of psychosis.”
    —Anonymous.

    “Adolescents, for all their self-involvement, are emerging from the self-centeredness of childhood. Their perception of other people has more depth. They are better equipped at appreciating others’ reasons for action, or the basis of others’ emotions. But this maturity functions in a piecemeal fashion. They show more understanding of their friends, but not of their teachers.”
    —Terri Apter (20th century)
