“History in the making is a very uncertain thing. It might be better to wait till the South American republic has got through with its twenty-fifth revolution before reading much about it. When it is over, some one whose business it is, will be sure to give you in a digested form all that it concerns you to know, and save you trouble, confusion, and time.

—Anna C. Brackett (1836–1911)
“Women, more than all, are the element and kingdom of illusion. Being fascinated, they fascinate.”
