    James Kenneth Stephens (1882–1950)

    The most important gift anyone can give a girl is a belief in her own power as an individual, her value without reference to gender, her respect as a person with potential.

    Harvey Brooks (b. 1915)

    The two most beautiful words in the English language are “check enclosed.”
    Dorothy Parker (1893–1967)

    In the meantime no sense in bickering about pronouns and other parts of blather.
    Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
