    “They aroused me to a determination to understand more fully the position of women, and the character of those men who talk so much of the need of our being “protected”Mremoving from us, meanwhile, what are often the very weapons of our defence [sic], occupations, and proper and encouraging remuneration.”
    —Harriot K. Hunt (1805–1875)

    “I shall not seek and I will not accept, the nomination of my party for another term as your President.”
    —Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)

    “By sharing the information and observations with the caregiver, you have a chance to see your child through another pair of eyes. Because she has some distance and objectivity, a caregiver often sees things that a parent’s total involvement with her child doesn’t allow.”
    —Amy Laura Dombro (20th century)
