Each home has been reduced to the bare essentials -- to barer essentials than most primitive people would consider possible. only one woman's hands to feed the baby, answer the telephone, turn off the gas under the pot that is boiling over, soothe the older child who has broken a toy, and open both doors at once. she is a nutritionist, a child psychologist, an engineer, a production manager, an expert buyer, all in one. her husband sees her as free to plan her own time, and envies her; she sees him as having regular hours and envies him.

Just because you’ve only been alive for fifteen years doesn’t mean you’re less anything except old. that’s all it means. it doesn’t mean you’re less experienced. it doesn’t mean you’re less intelligent. it doesn’t mean you’re less sensitive. it doesn’t mean you take things less seriously. it’s like, these are younger human beings, meaning don’t, because they’re only ten, start thinking that they don’t know what you’re talking about -because they do. don’t leave people out in the cold, and don’t talk down to people -don’t. it never works out.

Every subject's duty is the king's; but every subject's soul is his own. therefore, should every soldier in the wars do as every sick man in his bed, wash every mote out of his conscience; and dying so, death is to him advantage; or not dying, the time was blessedly lost wherein such preparation was gained; and in him that escapes, it were no sin to think that, making god so free an offer, he let him outlive the day to see his greatness and to teach others how they should prepare.
