“Thats right, son. Thats why I keep my hat on, so my horns dont show. Why Ive got more wives than Solomon hisself. At least thats what folks around here say. And if they dont say it, they, they think it.”
—Frank S. Nugent (19081965)
“Not rarely, and this is especially true of wives and mothers, the motive behind assuming a disproportionate share of work and responsibility is completely unselfish. We want to protect, to spare those of whom we are fond. We forget that, regardless of the motive, the results of such action are almost always destructive and unproductive.”
—Hortense Odlum (1892?)
