Standing and smiling vacuously at thin air all the time! Girls like that are hopeless, useless, and false. You’re a thinking lady, I say. Zealous and thinking and true. And a decent man prefers a true lady over a false one any day.”

“She was insightful, bringing up ideas for the gallery that I hadn't considered. Her knowledge of art was lacking, but her enthusiasm for the history behind it was bountiful as she showed me what she had worked on so far. And she was charming.

“Les filles sont conditionnées pour aspirer au mariage, mais pas les garçons, ce qui entraîne dès le départ un déséquilibre. Les filles deviennent des femmes qui sont obnubilées par le mariage, les garçons deviennent des hommes qui ne sont pas obnubilés par le mariage. Les femmes épousent ces hommes. La relation est automatiquement inégale, parce que l’institution compte plus aux yeux de l’une que de l’autre.”
