Some are in smocks: but truly there they are.”

“The world is a puzzling place today. All these banks sending us credit cards, with our names on them. Well, we didn’t order any credit cards! We don’t spend what we don’t have.

—Sarah Louise Delany (b. 1889)

“They never open their mouths without subtracting from the sum of human knowledge.”
