->''"As modern interpolators might say, the bubonic plague winnowed down UsefulNotes/{{Europe}}’s population to a scale more congenial with its resource base. After that big first wave of the disease, [the] land was cheaper and human labor better rewarded. Eventually, more food got around. Incidentally, the plague provoked nostalgia for the classical antiquity of UsefulNotes/{{Greece}} and UsefulNotes/{{Rome}}, especially among the scholars of UsefulNotes/{{Florence}}, launching the extravaganzas of UsefulNotes/TheRenaissance, UsefulNotes/TheEnlightenment, and eventually our own pageant of techno-supremacist Modernity."''

->''[...] In democratic Athens of the fifth century BC, an individual possessing a womb had no independent legal status and was forbidden to participate in popular assemblies or to be a judge. With few exceptions, such an individual could not benefit from a good education, nor engage in business or in philosophical discourse. None of Athens’ political leaders, none of its great philosophers, orators, artists or merchants had a womb. Does having a womb make a person unfit, biologically, for these professions? The ancient Athenians thought so. Modern Athenians disagree. In present-day Athens, women vote, are elected to public office, make speeches, design everything from jewellery to buildings to software, and go to university.''

->''"How do I know what God Himself judges in this particular case? It is certain [[CannibalTribe these people]] do not commit this as a crime; it is not against their own consciences reproving, or their light reproaching them; they do not know it to be an offence, and then commit it in defiance of divine justice, as we do in almost all the sins we commit. They think it no more a crime to kill a captive taken in war than we do to kill an ox; or to eat human flesh than we do to eat mutton."''

->''"I was 10 years old when I first saw WesternAnimation/AnAmericanTail, and I thought, ''Yes! That looks delightful!

->''"Before the corn syrup industry rewrote our country's DNA to be mostly pancake, being obese was a bit of a novelty. If you sent a pair of today's average-size pants back to [[TheFifties 1950]], they would assume it was some kind of 15-man parachute and drop an airborne squad into Korea.
