At the cradle of play as well as of artistic activity there stood leisure, tedium entailed by increased spiritual mobility, a horror vacui, the need of letting forms no longer imprisoned move freely, of filling empty time with sequences of notes, empty space with sequences of form.”
—Max J. Friedländer (1867–1958)
“I don’t think America’s the center of the world anymore. I think African women will lead the way [in] ... women’s liberation ...

She’s not afraid that if she speaks up, her man will say goodbye to her.”
