“What most women thought were "the rules" were simply precepts to keep women in their place. "Nice" was a comfortable, reassuring box where society told women if they stayed–if they didn't stray out of the nice box–they would be safe. But no one was safe. Safety was a lie, especially when it came to business. The only rules were about power: who had it and who could exercise it.” — Candace Bushnell
