Betty Friedan
“To limit one’s field of inquiry to the function of an institution in a given social system, with no alternatives considered, provides an infinite number of rationalizations for all the inequalities and inequities of that system.”
― Betty Friedan, The Feminine Mystique

William  James
“What was bright and exciting becomes weary, flat, and unprofitable.”
― William James, The Principles of Psychology
