“I have sometimes thought--that under the affectation of independent views you are as enslaved to the social code as any woman I know!”

“Independent thought is hard and liberating, thoughtless acceptance is easy and enslaving.”

“I never thought before, that there was a woman in the world who could affect me so much by saying so little. But don't be hard in your construction of me. You don't know what my state of mind towards you is. You don't know how you haunt and bewilder me. You don't know how the cursed carelessness that is over-officious in helping me at every other turning of my life WON'T help me here. You have struck it dead, I think, and I sometimes wish you had struck me dead along with it.”

“He wants to enslave you.''I shudder at the thought of being free.”

“I don't need handcuffs to enslave a woman." -Ranger to Stephanie”

“I will say that the socially oblivious extroverts do not represent the whole. As with introverts, social skills are independent of extroversion: some are skilled, some are not. The skilled ones know how to listen. But in contrast to socially unskilled introverts, who keep to themselves, socially unskilled extroverts insist on socializing.”
