Quote by Gabriel Garcí­a Márquez

“Elle lui rappela que les faibles jamais n'entreraient au royaume de l'amour, qui est un royaume inclément et mesquin, et que les femmes ne se donnent qu'aux hommes de caractère car ils leur communiquent la sécurité dont elles ont tant besoin pour affronter la vie.”

“... In her immaculate kitchen she said, 'Yes, I've changed. I realized I was being awfully sloppy and self-indulgent. It's no disgrace to be a good homemaker. I've decided to do my job conscientiously, the way Dave does his, and to be more careful about my appearance. Are you sure you don't want a sandwich?' Joanna shook her head. 'Bobbie,' she said, 'I— Don't you see what's happened? Whatever's around here—it's got you, the way it got Charmaine!' Bobbie smiled at her. 'Nothing's got me,' she said. 'There's nothing around.

“The Sex Wars are over, I've been told, and it always makes me want to ask who won. But my sense of humor may be a little obscure to women who have never felt threatened by the way most lesbians use and mean the words "pervert" and "queer." I use the word queer to mean more than lesbian. Since I first used it in 1980 I have always meant it to imply that I am not only a lesbian but a transgressive lesbian -- femme, masochistic, as sexually aggressive as the women I seek out, and as pornographic in my imagination and sexual activities as the heterosexual hegemony has ever believed.”

“Être une femme, je décide que c'est beau. Je me sens fraîche et fragile, mais j'ose tout. Je pars à l'autre bout du monde pour écorcher mon confort de jeune fille, je veux être une femme libre, je veux griller au soleil, manger des noix de coco, aller seule dans les herbes, prendre l'avion puis la pirogue, passer ma timidité à tabac, devenir qui je sens, qui je suis dessous, là, sous les épaisseurs de l'apprentissage qui ont fait de moi une fille sage. Désapprentissage, devenir sauvage, devenir soi, femme, soif de ça, être femme soi soif et soie qui vole folle, être enfin soi, assoiffée, se sauver, je me débats. Être femme c'est rabattre les voiles qui emballent mon être depuis toute petite. C'est rabattre les voiles qui me ficellent. C'est chercher tout au fond à nu, où suis-je nue, où suis-je moi, où suis-je femme ?”
