“Every where the years bring to all enough of sin and sorrow; but in slavery the very dawn of life is darkened by these shadows. Even the little child, who is accustomed to wait on her mistress and her children, will learn, before she is twelve years old, why it is that her mistress hates such and such a one among the slaves. Perhaps the child's own mother is among those hated ones. She listens to violent outbreaks of jealous passion, and cannot help understanding what is the cause. She will become prematurely knowing in evil things. Soon she will learn to tremble when she hears her master's footfall. She will be compelled to realize that she is no longer a child. If God has bestowed beauty upon her, it will prove her greatest curse. That which commands admiration in the white woman only hastens the degradation of the female slave.”

“Every widow I have met has recognized in the wheel a dear forgotten friend.”
Source: Collected Works
“Every widow wakes one morning, perhaps after years of pure and unwavering grieving, to realize she slept a good night's sleep, and will be able to eat breakfast, and doesn't hear her husband's ghost all the time, but only some of the time. Her grief is replaced with a useful sadness. Every parent who loses a child finds a way to laugh again. The timbre begins to fade. The edge dulls. The hurt lessens. Every love is carved from loss. Mine was. Yours is. Your great-great-great-grandchildren's will be. But we learn to live in that love.”
“Every wife ought to answer for her man. If the husband be engaged in a seditious club, or drinks mysterious healths, or be frugal of his candles on a rejoicing night, let her look to him and keep him out of harm's way; or the world will be apt to say, she has a mind to be a widow before her time. She ought, in such cases, to exert the authority of the curtain lecture; and if she finds him of a rebellious disposition, to tame him, as they do birds of prey, by dinning him in the ears all night long.”

“Every wife who slaves to keep herself pretty, to cook her husband's favourite meals, to build up his pride and confidence in himself at the expense of his sense of reality, to be his closest and effectively his only friend, to encourage him to rejectthe consensus of opinionand find reassurance only in her arms is binding her mate to her with hoops of steel that will strangle them both.”

“Every winter he'd be out here plowing with the big red blade mounted on the Ford, and when he was done opening up his drive, he'd by God get cracking on the neighbors' spreads down the road. Arnie and Ina, good Vikings from Minnesota. The Rays over to the east--they had a kid. Couldn't be trapped out here in snow. That's how America worked. Used to work. That was what made things function. It was all obvious come winter. Some folks wouldn't pitch in with a snow shovel if they saw a naked one-hundred-year-old lady out there struggling with a drift.”

“Every winter, When the great sun has turned his face away, The earth goes down into a vale of grief, And fasts, and weeps, and shrouds herself in sables, Leaving her wedding-garlands to decay- Then leaps in spring to his returning kisses.”

“Every witch I’ve ever met says I’m too powerful, I’m too much, I’m
not safe,” I say. “Not safe to be anyone’s friend, to study with anyone, to be
trusted.”
To be loved by anyone, I add silently, kicking my Doc Martens against
the wall of the canal. When I’ve got control of my grief, soaring through my
chest like a bird with feathers made of sorrow, I go on.
“Maybe if I could actually shift it would be different, but my power
doesn’t make me feel safer,” I admit, not letting my voice rise above a
whisper, too ashamed to speak loudly. “Mostly, I just feel … fucking
lonely.”
Bastian doesn’t say anything for a while. I wonder if I spoke too quietly
for him to hear. A goose flaps its wings and slides into the water, gently
paddling upstream. Then he speaks.
“We could study together,” he says.
He doesn’t phrase it like a question, but a statement. It’s funny, because
in it I hear something different. You don’t have to be alone is what I hear.
I’ve not felt that in a while now, like someone believes I’m safe to be
around. That someone wants my company. Bastian might treat witchcraft
differently to any witch I’ve ever met, but he’s here and he’s not afraid of
me.
“Yeah, okay,” I say.”

“Every woman becomes their mother. That's their tragedy. And no man becomes his. That's his tragedy.”
“Every woman deals with sexism most every day of their lives. Growing up, it's just in your day-to-day. There are all these preconceived notions of what it means to be a woman or a girl, and straying from those ideas of femininity is sort of shocking to people. I felt angered by that as a kid. I felt like that was unjust. Like that was not right.”
