Quotes for Nasty Women
A compendium of inspiring, witty, and nasty quotations by and about powerful women through history. When Donald Trump referred to Hillary Clinton as “such a nasty woman” during a presidential debate in 2016, women everywhere—whatever their politics or feelings about Clinton—felt a jolt of recognition. In response, they promptly turned his insult into an empowering slogan. This book celebrates women’s power and resilience with quotes that demonstrate what it means to be nasty. The book includes entries from women of the ancient world like Cleopatra; freedom fighters like Harriet Tubman; founding mothers like Mary Wollstonecraft and Elizabeth Cady Stanton; and feminist icons such as Gloria Steinem and Betty Friedan. It also features the words of politicians and government leaders; groundbreakers in arts and culture; celebrities; and the mothers, daughters, and sisters at home.
Carpe Diem
“Dum loquimur, fugerit invida Aetas: carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero.” —Horace The full translation of the Roman poet Horace’s Odes is “While we’re talking, envious time is fleeing: pluck the day, put no trust in the future.” It’s been boiled down most famously to one stark piece of advice: “Carpe diem,” or, “Seize the day.” In other words: Life is fleeting, don’t waste the time you have. It’s an easy thing to say, and we’ve all heard it. But how do you actually make sure that you’re living life to its fullest? That’s where Carpe Diem comes in. In this helpful guidebook you will find hundreds of carefully curated and inspirational quotations from a diverse selection of writers and thinkers. Selected by Linda Picone (The Daily Book of Positive Quotations) and organized by chapters such as “Richer and Poorer” and “The Art of Living,” these quotes serve as a daily reminder to never take life for granted. With this book at your side, you never will.

The Case for Marriage
A groundbreaking look at marriage, one of the most basic and universal of all human institutions, which reveals the emotional, physical, economic, and sexual benefits that marriage brings to individuals and society as a whole. The Case for Marriage is a critically important intervention in the national debate about the future of family. Based on the authoritative research of family sociologist Linda J. Waite, journalist Maggie Gallagher, and a number of other scholars, this book’s findings dramatically contradict the anti-marriage myths that have become the common sense of most Americans. Today a broad consensus holds that marriage is a bad deal for women, that divorce is better for childr...
Possibilities of Lyric
Opening to passion as an unsettling, transformative force; extending desire to the text, expanding the self, and dissolving its boundaries; imagining pleasures outside the norm and intensifying them; overcoming loss and reaching beyond death; being loyal to oneself and defying productivity, resolution, and cohesion while embracing paradox, non-linearity, incompletion. These are some of the possibilities of lyric that this book explores by reading Petrarch’s vernacular poetry in dialogue with that of other poets, including Guido Cavalcanti, Dante, and Shakespeare. In the Epilogue, the poet Antonella Anedda Angioy engages with Ossip Mandel’štam and Paul Celan’s dialogue with Petrarch and extends it into the present.
