“این ادّعا که طبیعت دو جنس آن‌ها را با وظایف و جایگاه کنونی‌شان انطباق می‌دهد و این وظایف را برای آنان مناسب می‌سازد، نیز فایده‌ای در بر ندارد. من با تکیه بر عقل سلیم و سرشت ذهن بشر، به هیچ روی نمی‌توانم بپذیرم که کسی طبیعت این یا آن جنس را بشناسد، و یا اصول‍ا شناخت طبیعت آن‌ها امکان‌پذیر باشد. طبیعت این دو، مادام که مناسبات کنونی را با هم دارند، قابل شناخت نیست. ‎اگر مردان در جامعه‌ای بدون زن، و زنان در جامعه‌ای بدون مرد به‌سر برده بودند، و یا اگر جامعه‌ای شکل گرفته بود که در آن زنان زیر سلطه‌ی مردان نبودند، آن‌گاه می‌توانستیم درباره‌ی تفاوت‌های ذهنی و اخل‍اقی‌ای سخن بگوییم که احتمال‍ا از طبیعت آنان سرچشمه می‌گیرند. آن‌چه را امروز طبیعت زنانه می‌نامند، چیزی یک‌سره تصنّعی‌‌ست، زیرا محصول سرکوب در بعضی جهات و تشویق و ترغیب در جهاتی دیگر است.”

“They journeyed on for a bit, then set up camp and cooked beans over a small fire. The poor man's meat. Drifter food. Some said beans'd get you across the desert and back. Dead men said a lot of things.”

“I really thought before, young men despised novels amazingly." "It is amazingly; it may well suggest amazement if they do, for they read nearly as many as women. I myself have read hundreds and hundreds. Do not imagine that you can cope with me in a knowledge of Julias and Louisas. If we proceed to particulars, and engage in the never-ceasing inquiry of 'Have you read this?' and 'Have you read that?' I shall soon leave you as far behind me as -- what shall I say? -- I want an appropriate simile, -- as far as your friend Emily herself left poor Valancourt when she went with her aunt into Italy.”

“... I discovered from my time in the brothel that men's members, if bitten off or otherwise severed, do not grow again. This seems a great mistake on the part of nature, since men are so careless with their members and will put them anywhere without thinking.”

“Men are foul, brutish creatures. But they own the world and always will…my brother liked the situation as it was - he had the best of everything without lifting a finger. Mother gave him whatever he wanted. And the selfish pig didn’t mind sacrificing me to keep himself comfortable. He was a man, you see. So I became a whore. And for years I prayed for rescue. But God doesn’t hear the prayers of women. He cares only for those He made in His own image.”
