“...black women write differently from white women. This is the most marked difference of all those combinations of black and white, male and female.

—Toni Morrison (b. 1931)

“Any gentleman with the slightest chic will give a girl a fifty dollar bill for the powder room.”
—George Axelrod (1922)

“To fight aloud is very brave,
But gallanter I know,
Who charge within the bosom
The Cavalry of Woe.”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
