    “Nor is any evidence to be found, either in History or Human Nature, that nations are to be bribed out of a spirit of encroachment and aggression, by humiliations which nourish their pride, or by concessions that extend their resources and power.”

    “... imprisonment itself, entailing loss of liberty, loss of citizenship, separation from family and loved ones, is punishment enough for most individuals, no matter how favorable the circumstances under which the time is passed.”
    —Mary B. Harris (1874–1957)

    “The vanity of men, a constant insult to women, is also the ground for the implicit feminine claim of superior sensitivity and morality.”
    —Patricia Meyer Spacks (b. 1929)

    “I think “taste” is a social concept and not an artistic one. I’m willing to show good taste, if I can, in somebody else’s living room, but our reading life is too short for a writer to be in any way polite. Since his words enter into another’s brain in silence and intimacy, he should be as honest and explicit as we are with ourselves.”
    —John Updike (b. 1932)

    “No memory of having starred
    Atones for later disregard,
    Or keeps the end from being hard.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
