And this drive to self-knowledge, for women, is more than a search for identity: it is part of our refusal of the self-destructiveness of male-dominated society.”
― Adrienne Rich, On Lies, Secrets, and Silence: Selected Prose 1966-1978

“Everybody generalizes from one example. At least, I do.”
― Steven Brust

“A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.”
