Quote by Alison Weir (Author)

“I will never give him the satisfaction of knowing how much he has wounded and enraged me. In my silence lies my strength. He might possess my body, but my mind and soul are my own. He shall never have those.”

“She watches him walk around the room, naked apart from those silly flip-flops he's put on because his feet feel the cold. She marvels at his lack of self-consciousness. He has a good body: tall and broad with a pronounced rump and the mearest hint of a thirty-something pounch, but he appears unaware of his physicality in these moments in way that a woman never would be. A woman, Kate thinks, would be worried about her flabby belly or her wide thighs or the fact that her breasts are more saggy that she'd like and she would assume she was being monitored by the male eyes in the room. Yet Jake treats his body as his own, inhabiting it with confidence. - (Page 277)”

“Naixies amb un seguit de pertinences, propietats, i potser fins i tot algun títol sota el braç. Però tot això no era teu, era de la teva família, i en créixer, a diferència dels teus parents barons, aquelles coses seguien sense ser teves, doncs ara passaven a ser del teu marit. Algú que igual que tu, havia nascut amb pertinences, propietats, i pot ser fins i tot un títol sota el braç. Tot per dret de sang, un dret no aplicable a aquells que perden de manera mensual. I en aquell moment entenies que mai res havia estat teu, i que mai ho seria, i fins i tot podries pensar que el teu valor no era altre que el de l'intercanvi: béns per serveis. Com qui ven a la mula.”

“Men tend to rebel when young and become more conservative with age, but women tend to be more conservative when young and become rebellious as we grow older. I’d noticed this pattern in the suffragist/ abolitionist era, when women over fifty, sixty, even seventy were a disproportionate number of the activists and leaders—think of Sojourner Truth and Susan B. Anthony, or Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Ida B. Wells—but I’d assumed it was due to the restrictions placed on younger women by uncontrolled childbirth and their status as household chattel: hard facts that limited all but a few single or widowed white women, and all but even fewer free women of color.”

“When men get angry onscreen, they're angry at the system. When women are angry onscreen, they're angry at someone. Women are not allowed to be angry at the system, because that would be a tacit acceptance that we're all participants in the oppressive patriarchal structure that create this pressing, everyday anger. Women onscreen are only allowed to be angry at one person, one wrongdoing. Something they can fix. Something that doesn't antagonize audiences too much.”
