“When youre alone in the middle of the night and you wake in a sweat and a hell of a fright
When youre alone in the middle of the bed and you wake like someone hit you in the head
Youve had a cream of a nightmare dream and youve got the hoo-has coming to you.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“I never went near the Wellesley College chapel in my four years there, but I am still amazed at the amount of Christian charity that school stuck us all with, a kind of glazed politeness in the face of boredom and stupidity. Tolerance, in the worst sense of the word.... How marvelous it would have been to go to a womens college that encouraged impoliteness, that rewarded aggression, that encouraged argument.”
—Nora Ephron (b. 1941)
