And men that laugh and weep;”

“And for tired eyes every light is too bright, and for tired lips every breath too heavy, and for tired ears every word too much.”
—Georg Büchner (1813–1837)
“I concluded that I was skilled, however poorly, at only one thing: marriage. And so I set about the business of selling myself and two children to some unsuspecting man who might think me a desirable second-hand mate, a man of good means and disposition willing to support another man’s children in some semblance of the style to which they were accustomed. My heart was not in the chase, but I was tired and there was no alternative. I could not afford freedom.”
—Barbara Howar (b. 1934)
