“How baffling it was that even the most cunning and clever people would frequently see only what they wanted to see, and would rarely look beyond the thinnest of facades. Or they would ignore reality, dismissing it as the facade. And then, when their whole world fell to pieces...they would tear their topknots or rend their clothes and bewail their karma, blaming gods or kami or luck or their lords or husbands or vassals-anything or anyone-but never themselves.” PeopleWorldLooksWholeRealityWantedLordPiecesTearsHusbandClothesBlameLuckKarmaCleverWhole WorldCunningFacade Book:SHOGUN Source: SHOGUN

“...a choice had to be made when your husband said something unkind. Specifically: be cruel, be strong, or sulk. 'Be cruel' by saying an unkind thing back. 'Be strong' by choosing not to mind. But to do this, you have to use up a piece of your love. You have to shave off enough of the love to forgive. After a while, the piece might grow back, but sometimes not. And if you shave off all the soft curves, you'll be left with a sharp-edged love. 'Sulk' by sulking. Sulking is simply delaying the choice to be cruel or strong.” IfsMindMadeSaidSometimesEnoughUseMightChoicesLeftStrongGrowsPiecesLove YouHusbandForgivingCurvesUnkindYour HusbandSulking Author:Jaclyn Moriarty

“The queen was my favorite chess piece. Unlike the women I knew in real life, she was powerful. Her job was to defend her husband at all costs, because while he was weak and practically defenseless—only allowed to move one square at a time—she was the strongest player on the board, hindered by no restrictions at all.” RealJobsMovingPowerfulPiecesPlayerCostHusbandWeakMy FavoriteChessReal LifeQueensBoardsStrongestSquaresRestrictionDefenselessChess Pieces Book:Stray Source: Stray
