Rossini would have been a great composer if his teacher had spanked him enough.
--Ludwig van Beethoven
There are no woman composers, never have been and possibly never will be.

The Navy (or any organization/business) is a master plan designed by geniuses
for execution by idiots. If you are not an idiot, but find yourself in the
Navy, you can only operate well by pretending to be one. All the shortcuts and
economies and common-sense changes that your native intelligence suggests to
you are mistakes. Learn to quash them. Constantly ask yourself, How would I do
this if I were a fool? Throttle down your mind to a crawl. Then you will never
go wrong. --Herman Wouk, The Caine Mutiny
