There are moments when a woman ought to invest emotionally in many different roles, and other moments when she may need to conserve her psychological energies.”
—Faye J. Crosby (20th century)

“Nature will not be Buddhist: she resents generalizing, and insults the philosopher in every moment with a million fresh particulars.”
