I have not much faith in women in fiction.... Women are so horribly subjective and they have such scorn for the healthy commonplace.

Willa Cather

A good sherris-sack hath a twofold operation in it. It
ascends me into the brain,... makes it apprehensive, quick,
forgetive, full of nimble, fiery, and delectable shapes.
William Shakespeare
