    “In April 1917 the illusion of isolation was destroyed, America came to the end of innocence, and of the exuberant freedom of bachelor independence. That the responsibilities of world power have not made us happier is no surprise. To help ourselves manage them, we have replaced the illusion of isolation with a new illusion of omnipotence.”
    —Barbara Tuchman (1912–1989)

    “If the husband dies, she is free to be married to whom she wishes.... But in my judgment she is happier if she remains as she is.”
