Little Packages

Women think in little packages. I understand nothing in the way their minds work.  They make an envelope for each subject, attach a label to it, and that's the end of the matter.  Little packages. Little packages.


---Edgar Degas, in conversation, Oct 1891 [included in the Degas exhibit at the Naples Museum of Art]


Hmmmm....Well, I've always heard that women were not terribly good at compartmentalizing.  According to Degas, that's a falsehood.
