“I'm not ashamed to dress "like a woman" because I don't think it's shameful to be a woman.”

“For a long time, I used to think that I had a man's brain that I thought more like a man than a woman. But now I've come to realise that whatever it is I do think like, it's not like men; because men don't really think like men, they think like boys.”

“You don't think I can fight." Tessa said, drawing back and matching his silvery gaze with her own. "Because I'm a girl.""I don't think you can fight because you're wearing a wedding dress", said Jem. "For what it's worth, I don't think Will could fight in that dress either.""Perhaps not," said Will, who had ears like a bat'a. "But I would make a radiant bride.”

“Look for the woman in the dress. If there is no woman, there is no dress.”

“There is no shame in having been the woman I was. She made me the woman I am.”

“A woman's dress should be like a barbed-wire fence: serving its purpose without obstructing the view.”
