“Nobody can misunderstand a boy like his own mother.... Mothers at present can bring children into the world, but this performance is apt to mark the end of their capacities.

—Norman Douglas (1868–1952)

“Even today a crude sort of persecution is all that is required to create an honorable name for any sect, no matter how indifferent in itself.”
