Orson Scott Card
“As the proverb said, “Think in the morning, Act in the noon, Eat in the evening, Sleep in the night.” Too late for thinking now. Too early for eating.”
Orson Scott Card, Seventh Son

Betty Friedan
“It is perhaps beside the point to remark that bowling alleys and supermarkets have nursery facilities, while schools and colleges and scientific laboratories and government offices do not.”
Betty Friedan, The Feminine Mystique
