The only chance for victory over the brainwash is the right of every man to have his ideas judged one at a time. You never get cla...rity as long as you have these packaged words, as long as a word is used by twenty-five people in twenty-five different ways.

Mothers are not the nameless, faceless stereotypes who appear once a year on a greeting card with their virtues set to prose, but ...women who have been dealt a hand for life and play each card one at a time the best way they know how.

I ask the band to play "Dixie."LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Women should not weaken their cause by impracticable demands. Make no claim which could not be won in a reasonable time. Take one ...step at a time, get a good foothold in it and advance carefully.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
No sociologist ... should think himself too good, even in his old age, to make tens of thousands of quite trivial computations in ...his head and perhaps for months at a time.
