"[Long hair] is considered bohemian, which may be why I grew it, but I keep it long because I love the way it feels, part cloak, part fan, part mane, part security blanket."
- Marge Piercy (b. 1936), American novelist, essayist and poet.
"The quest for certainty blocks the search for meaning. Uncertainty is the very condition to impel man to unfold his powers."
- Erich Fromm (1900 - 1980), American psychologist, "Man for Himself", 1947.
