“Η γυναίκα μου εξαφανίστηκε παίρνοντας κι όλα τα ρούχα της μαζί. Άφησε πίσω της δυο νάιλον κάλτσες και μια βούρτσα για τα μαλλιά που 'χε παραπέσει πίσω από το κρεβάτι. Θα 'θελα τώρα να επιστήσω την προσοχή σας σε τούτες τις καλοφτιαγμένες κάλτσες και στα δυνατά σκούρα μαλλιά που είχαν πιαστεί στις τρίχες της βούρτσας. Πέταξα τις κάλτσες στα σκουπίδια, τη βούρτσα θα την κρατήσω και θα τη χρησιμοποιώ. Το κρεβάτι μόνο μοιάζει αλλόκοτο και μου είναι αδύνατο να το δικαιολογήσω.”

“There should be some drug for fathers of teenage girls. Something that calmed your heart so it didn't practically rip through your chest. Something that could soothe the fury your daughter could inspire, the absolute terror that something unspeakable would happen to her, the almost murderous sense of protection. Something that would give you the words to tell her that no one would ever love her as much as dear old dad, and if she just listened to him, she'd have a much easier time of things and be safe from boys who ruined her life.”

“People will point to books written about women, by men, and books written by women, and say, ‘Tell me, what is the difference?’ The answer… ‘Well, how many books do you know where female friendships are authentically portrayed, where childbirth is really portrayed, where the mother-daughter relationship is talked about in a meaningful way, where women's real experience during wartime is portrayed? You could look at what’s left out.’ Virginia Woolf said so well in A Room of One’s Own: ‘Women are inevitably portrayed in men's literature as having to do with men; their lives are seen as centered on men. And how little of a woman's life this is!’” ~ Ellen Silber, PH.D in Shireen Dodson’s the Mother-Daughter Book Club”
