The Influence of Maupassant
Here was a man who had escaped from tradition and authority, who had entered into himself and looked out upon life through his own being and with his own eyes; and who, in a direct and simple way, told us what he saw.
——Maupassant
• Perceive life and put it down on paper

Not a Feminist
Kate was neither a feminist nor a suffragist, she said so. She was nonetheless a woman who took women extremely seriously. She never doubted women's ability to be strong.
——Comments by her grandchildren
