Ought not education to bring out and fortify the differences rather than the similarities? For we have too much likeness as it is, and if an explorer should come back and bring word of other sexes looking through the branches of other trees at other skies, nothing would be of greater service to humanity; and we should have the immense pleasure into the bargain of watching Professor X rush for his measuring-rods to prove himself ''superior.''”-Virginia Woolf quotes (English Modernist Writer.

By the learned Dr. Dolabelly Gak it is believed to have been a term of satisfaction, implying the highest possible degree of mental tranquillity.

It would be with great diffidence that I should advance an opinion conflicting with that of either of these formidable authorities.”-Ambrose Bierce quotes (American Writer, Journalist and Editor, 1842-1914)
