“The myth of independence from the mother is abandoned in mid- life as women learn new routes around the mother—both the mother without and the mother within.

—Terri Apter (20th century)

“My love is fair, my love is gay,
As fresh as bin the flowers in May
And of my love my roundelay,
My merry, merry, merry roundelay,
Concludes with Cupid’s curse,—
‘They that do change old love for new
Pray gods they change for worse!’”
—George Peele (1559–1596)
“The decline of the aperitif may well be one of the most depressing phenomena of our time.”
