“Is there not some need for ‘mother culture’? But how is the state of things to be altered? So many mothers say, ‘I simply have not time for myself!’ ‘I never read a book!’ Or else, ‘I don’t think it is right to think of myself!’ They not only starve their minds, but they do it deliberately, and with a sense of self-sacrifice which seems to supply ample justification.” -Charlotte Mason
