“Cleaning requires an attention to detail and a concern for the superficial that women are both pressured to internalize and then despised for possessing.”

“Nobody can judge an internal injury by the size of the superficial wound.”

“Brigands demand your money or your life; women require both.”

“Our spiritual purpose is to overcome both sin and the desire to sin, both the taint and the tyranny of sin. Prophets throughout the ages have emphasized the dual requirements of (1) avoiding and overcoming bad and (2) doing good and becoming better...it is possible for us to have clean hands but not have a pure heart. Please notice that both clean hands and a pure heart are required to ascend into the hill of the Lord and to stand in His holy place.”

“That wish - that prayer - both men and women would have scorned me for - "But, Father, Thou wilt not despise!" I said, and felt that it was true.”

“Nobody can judge an internal injury," he had said, "by the size of the superficial wound, of the hole.”
