Quote by Nikita Gill

“I was starting to feel as if my entire existence was a threat. Perhaps this is what womanhood was. The dangerous knowledge of who you are and what you could do with that power if pushed.”

“सबसे महत्वपूर्ण सत्य यह है कि स्त्री स्वयंवर में जीती जाने वाली कोई ‘वस्तु’ नहीं है। प्रतियोगिताएँ तो मात्र आधार हैं। यदि राजकुमारी ने पहले ही अपने मन में किसी का वरण कर लिया है, तो भी हमें उनकी इच्छा का सम्मान करना चाहिए। विवाह एक व्यक्तिगत निर्णय है, न कि किसी कौशल अथवा शक्ति-प्रदर्शन का पुरस्कार!”

“Granted;—but would you use the same argument with regard to a girl?’ ‘Certainly not.’ ‘No; you would have her to be tenderly and delicately nurtured, like a hothouse plant—taught to cling to others for direction and support, and guarded, as much as possible, from the very knowledge of evil. But will you be so good as to inform me why you make this distinction? Is it that you think she has no virtue?”

“It is the story that makes the difference. It is the story that hid my humanity from me, the story the mammoth hunters told about bashing, thrusting, raping, killing, about the Hero. The wonderful, poisonous story of Botulism. The killer story. It sometimes seems that that story is approaching its end. Lest there be no more telling of stories at all, some of us out here in the wild oats, amid the alien corn, think we’d better start telling another one, which maybe people can go on with when the old one’s finished. Maybe. The trouble is, we’ve all let ourselves become part of the killer story, and so we may get finished along with it. Hence it is with a certain feeling of urgency that I seek the nature, subject, words of the other story, the untold one, the life story.”
