“Women over fifty already form one of the largest groups in the population structure of the western world. As long as they like themselves, they will not be an oppressed minority.

—Germaine Greer (b. 1939)

“Thou knowest in the state of innocency Adam fell, and what
should poor Jack Falstaff do in the days in villainy?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“The dead level of provincial existence.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
