“The work of adult life is not easy. As in childhood, each step presents not only new tasks of development but requires a letting go of the techniques that worked before.

—Gail Sheehy (20th century)

“The self-styled intellectual who is impotent with pen and ink hungers to write history with sword and blood.”
