Who said “Housekeeping ain't no joke.”?

“The suburban housewife -- she was the dream image of the young American women and the envy, it was said, of women all over the world. The American housewife -- freed by science and labor-saving appliances from the drudgery, the dangers of childbirth, and the illnesses of her grandmother had found true feminine fulfillment.”

“Man is made for something better than disturbing dirt.”

“Now, as always, the most automated appliance in a household is the mother.”

“Perhaps all artists were, in a sense, housewives: tenders of the earth household.”

“Housework is work directly opposed to the possibility of human self-actualization.”

“Love is a great beautifier.”

“It takes people a long time to learn the difference between talent and genius, especially ambitious young men and women.”

“Girls are so queer you never know what they mean. They say no when they mean yes, and drive a man out of his wits just for the fun of it.”

“That's just why, because talent isn't genius, and no amount of energy can make it so. I want to be great, or nothing. I won't be a common-place dauber, so I don't intend to try any more.”

“It takes two flints to make a fire.”

“I'm not afraid of storms, for I'm learning to sail my ship.”
