    “Most souls, ‘tis true, but peep out once an age,
    Dull sullen pris’ners in the body’s cage:
    Dim lights of life, that burn a length of years,
    Useless, unseen, as lamps in sepulchres;”
    —Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    “People named John and Mary never divorce. For better or for worse, in madness and in saneness, they seem bound together for eternity by their rudimentary nomenclature. They may loathe and despise one another, quarrel, weep, and commit mayhem, but they are not free to divorce. Tom, Dick, and Harry can go to Reno on a whim, but nothing short of death can separate John and Mary.”
    —John Cheever (1912–1982)

    “This world crisis came about without women having anything to do with it. If the women of the world had not been excluded from world affairs, things today might have been different.”
    —Alice Paul (1885–1977)
