“The Greeks believed that once there were no male and female, that all souls were one. Then the souls were torn apart, male and female. The Greeks thought that when you found the other half of your soul, your soul mate, that it would be your perfect lover But I think if you find your other half, you would be too much alike to be lovers, but you would still be soul mates.” IfsThinkingStillsSoulWould BeFoundPerfectHalfToo MuchLoversFemaleMalesYour SoulGreekMatesTornOther HalfSoul MateTorn ApartPerfect Lover Author:Laurell K.

“I tend to like strong female characters. It just interests me dramatically. A strong male character isn't interesting because it has been done and it's so cliched. A weak male character is interesting: somebody else hasn't done it a hundred times.

“Because of the lingering discrimination, many women still lack confidence. They live in fear of stepping beyond what they feel is acceptable 'female' behavior.

“Being the only female in what was basically a boys’ club must have been difficult for her. Miraculously, she didn’t compensate by becoming hard or quarrelsome. She was still a girl, a slight lovely girl who lay in bed and ate chocolates, a girl whose hair smelled like hyacinth and whose scarves fluttered jauntily in the breeze. But strange and marvelous as she was, a wisp of silk in a forest of black wool, she was not the fragile creature one would have her seem.” Has BeensStillsHardSeemsGirlDifficultBlackBoysStrangeHairBecomingBedCreaturesFemaleLaysClubsLovelyForestsChocolateFragileMarvelousBreezeSilkWoolScarvesWispsHyacinthsLovely Girl Author:Donna Tartt

“I feel there's so much pressure, especially for women, to declare what their life's going to be and what their career is, and are you married yet? Are you single? But you're 30.

“A lot of people [are] saying civil union," Faried told KDVR. "I don't like it being called that because I can get married to a female and it can be called a marriage.
