Poor arithmetic, but very human. It runs through all our folklore, all human religions, all our literature--a racial conviction that when one human needs rescue, others should not count the price.

Robert A. Heinlein

The only way for a woman, as for a man, to find herself, to know herself as a person, is by creative work of her own.
