Quote by Renee Engeln

“If we train young women to believe their most important asset is their appearance … It is no coincidence that when women say things men don't like, the response is often not a critique of their ideas, but a critique of their appear-ance. This is the logical outcome of seeing women as objects instead of as human beings.”

“Men and women don't think and feel the same way. I have seen and experienced enough of life to come to this conclusion. I am not making assumptions here. I have a myriad of instances that I can put forth as my evidences for this thought. But it's not what you think you know about women that can be classified as correct. They are authentic, but not like us the men who are direct and straight forward. Women feel everything deeply but express subtly.”

“Maybe God doesn't care if we get all dressed up and sit in the pew every Sunday, as Diana believes. Instead, maybe God comes to us through men like Sloth, watching over us as we make our own decisions. Maybe God has always been with me. Opening doors, leading me to opportunities, letting me choose my own path, and loving me even when I chose the wrong one. Never giving up on me. Knowing all along that I am on a journey. That I must find my own way to Him. Maybe River was rights. Maybe God does still believe in me.”
