― Doris Kearns Goodwin, No ordinary time : Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt : the home front in World War II

“I could bring you fifty quotations in a moment on my side the argument, and I do not think I ever opened a book in my life which had not something to say upon woman's inconstancy. Songs and proverbs, all talk of woman's fickleness. But perhaps you will say, these were all written by men." "Perhaps I shall. Yes, yes, if you please, no reference to examples in books. Men have had every advantage of us in telling their own story. Education has been theirs in so much higher a degree; the pen has been in their hands. I will not allow books to prove anything.”
― Jane Austen, Persuasion

“Night is beautiful when you are happy—comforting when you are in grief—terrible when you are lonely and unhappy.”
