If Mr. Jones of the nineties bragged he’d kissed a girl, everyone knew he was through with her. If Mr. Jones of 1919 brags the same everyone knows it’s because he can’t kiss her any more. Given a decent start any girl can beat a man nowadays.”
    —F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)

Many people will help take care of their needs, depending on who their parents are and how they chose to fulfill their roles.”
    —Stella Chess (20th century)
