Thousands discovered women were not only doing something, but had been working seriously for many generations ...

    Then I discovered that my son had learned something new. For the first time, he was able to give a proper kiss, puckering up his lips and enfolding my face in his arms. “Kees Dada,” he said as he bussed me on the nose and cheeks. No amount of gratification at work could have compensated for that moment.
    —Donald H. Bell. “Conflicting Interests,” New York Times Magazine (July 31, 1983)

    Incidentally, why was it that none of all the pious ever discovered psycho-analysis? Why did it have to wait for a completely godless Jew?
    Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)
