• A todos los escritores secretos, pintores nocturnos, aspirantes a cantantes, artistas caducos y asustados de todo tipo, saquen su pincel, su flauta o sus zapatos de baile.

  Gracias, y sigue adelante.

• To thousands of elder women in the late sixties and early seventies [the private women's club movement] came like a new gospel ofactivity and service. They had reared their children and seen them take flight; moreover, they had fought through the war, their hearts in the field, their fingers plying needle and thread. They had been active in committees and commissions, the country over; had learned to work with and beside men, finding joy and companionship and inspiration in such work. How could they go back to the chimney-corner life of the fifties?
