Trying to write is very much like trying to put a Chinese puzzle together. We have a pattern in mind which we wish to work out in words but the words will not fit the spaces, or, if they do, they will not match the design.

Every child has a right to be well-born, well-nurtured and well-taught, and only the freedom of woman can guarantee him this right.

All truth goes through three stages. First it is ridiculed. Then it is violently opposed. Finally, it is accepted as self-evident. Facts are stubborn, and refusal to accept them does not avoid their inexorable effects-the tragic consequences are now upon us
