    “The shepherd is the brain behind the dog’s brain,
    But his control of dog, like dog’s of sheep
    Is never absolute—that’s the beauty of it.”
    —Cecil Day Lewis (1904–1972)

    “Everything that explains the world has in fact explained a world that does not exist, a world in which men are at the center of the human enterprise and women are at the margin “helping” them. Such a world does not exist—never has.”
    —Gerda Lerner (b. 1920)
