    “Men themselves have wondered
    What they see in me.
    They try so much
    But they can’t touch
    My inner mystery.
    When I try to show them,
    They say they still can’t see.
    I say,
    It’s in the arch of my back,
    The sun of my smile,
    The ride of my breasts,
    The grace of my style.
    I’m a woman
    Phenomenally.
    Phenomenal woman,
    That’s me.”
    —Maya Angelou (b. 1928)

    “I’ve always credited the private detective with a high degree of omniscience. Or is that only true in rental fiction?”
    —John Paxton (1911–1985)
