—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
“It is a curious thing to be a woman in the Caribbean after you have been a woman in these United States.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
“As in political revolutions, so in paradigm choice—there is no standard higher than the assent of the relevant community.

—Thomas S. Kuhn (b. 1922)
