“What other creatures are bred so exquisitely and purposefully for mistreatment as women are?”

“Never want something so badly that you will allow others to mistreat you”

“Of all creatures that breathe and move upon the earth, nothing is bred that is weaker than man.”

“When you really thought about it crying was a rather bizarre thing for any creature to be capable of. What purpose did it serve other than revealing too much?”

“When others, out of Jealousy,Mistreat me with abuse, slander, and so on,I will practice accepting defeatAnd offering the victory to them.”

“If I wanted so much to go-- if everything I wanted in the whole world was on the other side of that door, why didn't I just go?... What kept me frozen there in a despair composed equally of impotent rage and a strange reluctance to shatter some exquisite but invisible structure, neither the shape nor purpose of which was apparent to me? In a words, what the hell was going on?”
