“There're many ways, my dear, to victimize people. The most insidious way is to persuade them that they're victims.”
“We are not victims of the world we see, we are victims of the way we see the world.”
“Our stories always contain average, ordinary people. They are the most unsuspecting victims of all.”
“In their behavior toward creatures, all men are Nazis. Human beings see oppression vividly when they're the victims. Otherwise they victimize blindly and without a thought.”
“There are many ways to drown, only the most obvious wave their arms as they're going under.”
“What is a ‘woman like you’? Saying it that way suggests you have no choice in the matter. That you’ve been cast in this role as a victim. They may want us to be victims, Alena, but we don’t have to agree to the role.”
