“Owning a wife with him meant owning her.
She wasn’t anybody else’s business,
Either to praise her or so much as name her,
And he’d thank people not to think of her.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)

“[To an admirer who said, “You look gorgeous”:] Oh, God, if you only knew how much work it takes.”
—Julie Wilson (b. 1925)

“Most women of [the WW II] generation have but one image of good motherhood—the one their mothers embodied. . . . Anything done “for the sake of the children” justified, even ennobled the mother’s role. Motherhood was tantamount to martyrdom during that unique era when children were gods. Those who appeared to put their own needs first were castigated and shunned—the ultimate damnation for a gender trained to be wholly dependent on the acceptance and praise of others.”
—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)

“These studies which stimulate the young, divert the old, are an ornament in prosperity and a refuge and comfort in adversity; they delight us at home, are no impediment in public life, keep us company at night, in our travels, and whenever we retire to the country.”
—Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C.)
