    —Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. (b. 1922)

    “The most useful and honorable science and occupation for a woman is the science of housekeeping. I know some that are miserly, very few that are good managers.”
    —Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    “Primitive peoples tried to annul death by portraying the human body—we do it by finding substitutes for the human body. Technology instead of mysticism!”
