“The Americans are violently oral.... That’s why in America the mother is all-important and the father has no position at all—isn’t respected in the least. Even the American passion for laxatives can be explained as an oral manifestation. They want to get rid of any unpleasantness taken in through the mouth.”

—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.”

“Love, all alike, no season knows, nor clime,
Nor hours, days, months, which are the rags of time.”
—John Donne (c. 1572–1631)
