Every generation reinvents the wheel - and in the process it often adds to rather than subtracts from a woman's burdens.
The years that a woman subtracts from her age are not lost. They are added to other women's.
There are two kinds of sculptures. There's the kind that subtracts: Michelangelo starts with a block of marble and chips away. And then there is the kind that adds, building with clay, piling it on. The way I write novels is to keep piling on and piling on and piling on.
If fact were enough, you could take a photo of the subject. Unlike the sensitive observer, however, the camera never selects or comments, never adds or subtracts.
