    “The obvious parallels between Star Wars and The Wizard of Oz have frequently been noted: in both there is the orphan hero who is raised on a farm by an aunt and uncle and yearns to escape to adventure. Obi-wan Kenobi resembles the Wizard; the loyal, plucky little robot R2D2 is Toto; C3PO is the Tin Man; and Chewbacca is the Cowardly Lion. Darth Vader replaces the Wicked Witch: this is a patriarchy rather than a matriarchy.”
    —Andrew Gordon, U.S. educator, critic. “The Inescapable Family in American Science Fiction and Fantasy Films,” Journal of Popular Film and Television (Summer 1992)

    “I think this journal will be disadvantageous for me, for I spend my time now like a spider spinning my own entrails.”
    —Mary Bokin Chesnut (1823–1886)

    “Out where the handclasp’s a little stronger,
    Out where the smile dwells a little longer,
    That’s where the West begins.”

    “The African race evidently are made to excel in that department which lies between the sensuousness and the intellectual—what we call the elegant arts. These require rich and abundant animal nature, such as they possess; and if ever they become highly civilised, they will excel in music, dancing and elocution.”
    —Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811–1896)

    “Wealth is so much the greatest good that Fortune has to bestow that in the Latin and English languages it has usurped her name.”
