    ““Danger! What danger do you foresee?”
    Holmes shook his head gravely. “It would cease to be a danger if we could define it,” said he.”
    —Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)

    “Goddesses never die. They slip in and out of the world’s cities, in and out of our dreams, century after century, answering to different names, dressed differently, perhaps even disguised, perhaps idle and unemployed, their official altars abandoned, their temples feared or simply forgotten.”
    —Phyllis Chesler (b. 1941)
