“It is the highest and most legitimate pride of an Englishman to have the letters M.P. written after his name. No selection from the alphabet, no doctorship, no fellowship, be it of ever so learned or royal a society, no knightship,—not though it be of the Garter,—confers so fair an honour.”
—Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
“The women of my mother’s generation had, in the main, only one decision to make about their lives: who they would marry.

—Anna Quindlen (20th century)
