“I heard a warning, deep within - we usually do , when something worse than we can imagine is stalking us, and set to pounce. Fate’s way of beating us in a fair fight is to give us warnings that we hear, but never heed.”
“We may avoid shame if we choose, for shame seldom takes us unawares but has its warning cry, and we can hear that cry as clearly as we can hear the coming of the north wind... The man lying in the mud hadn't heard the coming of the north wind.”

“Pain is important. It acts as a warning. It tells us that we are damaging ourselves in some way.”
“we are the women our parents warned us against, and we are proud”
“We are the people our parents warned us about.”
