“The insidiousness of science lies in its claim to be not a subject, but a method. You could ignore a subject; no subject is all-inclusive. But a method can plausibly be applied to anything within the field of consciousness.”
—Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
“I know nothing more important to inculcate into the minds of young people than the wisdom, the honor, and the blessed comfort of living within their income.”
