“My enduring feeling about René Lévesque is that if he had chosen to hang me, even as he tightened the rope round my neck, he would have complained about how humiliating it was for him to spring the trapdoor. And then, once I was swinging in the wind, he would blame my ghost for having obliged him to murder, thereby imposing a guilt trip on a sweet, self-effacing, downtrodden Francophone.” IfsSelfFeelingsSweetWindSpringMurderBlameGuiltEndureRoundsGhostChosenNecksRopeObligedImposingHumiliatingDowntroddenGuilt Trip Author:Mordecai Richler
“Somehow, women's romance novels are not titled He Stopped When I Said "No". They are, though, titled Sweet Savage Love, in which the woman rejects the hand of her gentler lover who saves her from the rapist and marries the man who repeatedly and savagely rapes her. It is this "marry the rapist" theme that not only turned Sweet Savage Love into a best-seller but also into one of women's most enduring romance novels.” MenSaidHandsRomanceNovelHe ManSweetLoversEndureThemeRejectsSavagesRomance NovelSellersBest Sellers Author:Warren Farrell
“We must learn to endure what we cannot avoid. Our life is composed, like the harmony of the world, of contrary things, also of different tones, sweet and harsh, sharp and flat, soft and loud.

“As Gloria Steinem said about Ginger Rogers: She was doing everything Fred Astaire was doing, just doing it backwards in high heels. Well, Southern women are doing and enduring what other women have to do and endure, but (at least until recently) they had to do it in heels and hats and white gloves and makeup and a sweet smile, with maybe a glass of bourbon and a cigarette to get them through the magnolia part of being a steel magnolia.” WellsSaidWhiteSweetEndureGlassesHatsMakeupSouthernHeelsCigaretteSteelBackwardsGlovesRogerHigh HeelsGingerBourbonGloriaMagnoliasSouthern WomenSweet Smile Author:Michael Malone
