"In the parlor was a huge camera on wheels like the ones used in public parks, and the backdrop of a marine twilight, painted with homemade paints, and the walls papered with pictures of children at memorable moments: the first Communion, the bunny costume, the happy birthday. Year after year, during contemplative pauses on afternoons of chess, Dr. Urbino had seen the gradual covering over of the walls, and he had often thought with a shudder of sorrow that in the gallery of casual portraits lay the germ of the future of the city, governed and corrupted by those unknown children, where note even the ashes of his glory would remain."

"I had a hard time convincing students that they were going to North Africa to understand the North Africans, not to understand themselves."
Time
"If I remember correctly, a writer is someone who wants to convey information. Language or writing is a code."
Information
"Anthropology in general has always been fairly hospitable to female scholars, and even to feminist scholars."
Anthropology
"The point of literary criticism in anthropology is not to replace research, but to find out how it is that we are persuasive."
Anthropology
"I was trained in the '50s as a New Critic. I remember what literature was like before the New Critics, when people stood up and talked about Shelley's soul and such things."
Soul
"I've often been accused of making anthropology into literature, but anthropology is also field research. Writing is central to it."
Anthropology
"Anthropology never has had a distinct subject matter, and because it doesn't have a real method, there's a great deal of anxiety over what it is."
Anthropology
"It's always amusing to look at how something early in the 20th century was written in anthropology and how it's written now. There's been an enormous shift in how it's done, but yet you can't put your finger on someone who actually did it."
Anthropology
"I'm writing a review of three books on feminism and science, and it's about social constructionism. So I would say I'm a social constructionist, whatever that means."
Science
"Gender consciousness has become involved in almost every intellectual field: history, literature, science, anthropology. There's been an extraordinary advance."
