We are well advised to keep on nodding terms with the people we used to be, whether we find them attractive company or not.

An archety...pe is something like an old watercourse along which the water of life flowed for a time, digging a deep channel for itself. The longer it flowed the deeper the channel, and the more likely it is that sooner or later the water will return.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
When women talk about "privacy" they mean abortion rights, and the millions of words feminists have written about "a room of one's... own" refer to psychological space, rarely to physical solitude. For most women being alone is tantamount to being deserted.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
