“Just as we need to encourage women to test life’s many options, we need to acknowledge real limits of energy and resources.

There are moments when a woman ought to invest emotionally in many different roles, and other moments when she may need to conserve her psychological energies.”
—Faye J. Crosby (20th century)
“The pointless ferocities of intellectual life shock businessmen, who kill only to eat.”
