John Webster

Eagles commonly fly alone. They are crows, daws, and starlings that flock together.

Lay this unto your breast: Old friends, like old swords, still are trusted best.

Men often are valued high, when they are most wretched.

With my early work I got eviscerated by my male professors, and so you learned to disguise your impulses, as many women have done. And that's definitely changed.

It took me realizing that a broken heart has never actually killed anyone to find the courage to ask for what I want, in just about every situation. That was part of my own growing up.

Neither do thou lust after that tawny weed tobacco.
