“Harriet didn't fit well into the world that whisked past. She didn't want a life common to most women or to live as a man. She desired something in between: to do the same as men could--free of question or scrutiny--but unabashedly as a woman. And when returning home each night, she wanted to share her excitement and successes and her disappointments and challenges with a woman like Barbara Wozniak.”

“A man, when he undertakes a journey, has, in general the end in view; a woman thinks more of the incidental occurrences, the strange things that may possibly occur on the road; the impression that she may make on her fellow travelers; and, above all, she is anxiously intent on the care of the finery that she carries with her, which is more than ever a part of herself, when going to figure on a new scene; when, to use an apt French turn of expression, she is going to produce a sensation. Can dignity of mind exist with such trivial cares?”

“When we are fairly observant and overly patient, a vibration of happiness might crop up unwittingly, as we capture the “timelessness” of a lucky moment and a sparkle of a stray instant, unexpectedly, enraptures our life in a blaze of color and splendor. ( "Happy days are back again" )”

“My response to the American PR team that criticized my protagonist's proclivities in the bedroom as non-feminist (just before they dropped my novel as "too controversial"): "Ellie, like many women, is incongruous. What she needs to pave a way in the outside world is not the same as what she needs behind closed doors. This is relatable, not alienating. I'm telling women it's ok to want what you want without apologizing. I'm telling them that getting (demanding!) exactly what you desire sexually is plenty feminist.”
