    ““Who are you,” said the caterpillar.

    —Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

    “Forget dating. Forget striking a balance between work and family. Most single parents, whether they are divorced, widowed, or single by choice, report that discipline is by far the toughest issue.”
    —Jean Callahan (20th century)

    “After the planet becomes theirs, many millions of years will have to pass before a beetle particularly loved by God, at the end of its calculations will find written on a sheet of paper in letters of fire that energy is equal to the mass multiplied by the square of the velocity of light. The new kings of the world will live tranquilly for a long time, confining themselves to devouring each other and being parasites among each other on a cottage industry scale.”
    —Primo Levi (1919–1987)
