“If you're a woman with a gun, and you're getting into a conversation with a man you're attracted to, for example, at a party, it's always best to say, should he look quizzically at your weapon, 'My father taught me. I'm a rather good shot.' What you don't say is, 'My mother taught me' or -- even worse -- 'My ma taught me and I'm an expert crack shot.” — Anna Burns
