    “Multitude, solitude: equal and interchangeable terms for the active and prolific poet.”
    —Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)

    “Cultural expectations shade and color the images that parents- to-be form. The baby product ads, showing a woman serenely holding her child, looking blissfully and mysteriously contented, or the television parents, wisely and humorously solving problems, influence parents-to-be.”
    —Ellen Galinsky (20th century)

    “A man with a so-called character is often a simple piece of mechanism; he has often only one point of view for the extremely complicated relationships of life.”
    —J. August Strindberg (1849–1912)

    “An actress must be a woman whose emotional perceptions are true, and to make them so, she must have a fine contempt for any art or thought that betrays them for something false.”
    —Nance O’Neil (1874–1965)
