“When human beings have been fascinated by the contemplation of their own hearts, the more intricate biological pattern of the female has become a model for the artist, the mystic, and the saint.

—Margaret Mead (1901–1978)
“The attraction and superiority of California are in its days. It has better days & more of them, than any other country.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
““Men there were and men there be
But never men so many
Chief enough to marry me,”
Thought the proud late Annie.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
