“It seems to me that our three basic needs, for food and security and love, are so mixed and mingled and entwined that we cannot straightly think of one without the others.

—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
“I traded my childhood for my good left hand.”
—Yeou-Cheng Ma (b. c. 1950)

Till man made up the whole,
Made lock, stock and barrel
Out of his bitter soul,”
