The trouble is that very often he is but obscurely right, sometimes only partially right, and often quite wrong; but perhaps he is never so altogether wrong and pig-headed and utterly reprehensible as he is represented to be by those who add the possession of prejudices to the other almost insuperable difficulties of understanding him.
    Jane Addams (1860–1935)

    To Jane Austen, every fool is a treasure trove.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    Elizabeth I (1533–1603)
