“The women of my mother’s generation had, in the main, only one decision to make about their lives: who they would marry. From that, so much else followed: where they would live, in what sort of conditions, whether they would be happy or sad or, so often, a bit of both. There were roles and there were rules.”
—Anna Quindlen (20th century)

“A glass of papaya juice
and back to work. My heart is in my
pocket, it is Poems by Pierre Reverdy.”
