—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Pardon, and keep silent, for what is shameful for women must be concealed among women.”

“One of the greatest difficulties in civil war is, that more art is required to know what should be concealed from our friends, than what ought to be done against our enemies.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
