    “In this great association we know no North, no South, no East, no West. This has been our pride for all these years. We have no political party. We never have inquired what anybody’s religion is. All we ever have asked is simply, “Do you believe in perfect equality for women?” This is the one article in our creed.”
    —Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)

    “Kasper Gutman: You’re a closemouthed man?
    Sam Spade: Un, un. I like to talk.
    Gutman: Better and better. I distrust a closemouthed man. He generally picks the wrong time to talk and says the wrong things. Talking is something you can’t do judiciously unless you keep in practice.”
    —John Huston (1906–1987)
