I have no fear of men, as such, nor of their books. I have mixed with them--one or two of them particularly-- almost as one of their own sex.

Those who hurt you don't have the power over you they would like. That's why they do what they do. And I'm not going to give them the power now.

We must dare to face the way in which patriarchal thinking blinds everyone so that we cannot see that the emotional lives of boys cannot be fully honored as long as notions of patriarchal masculinity prevail.

Well, maybe it wasn’t a lie. All gentlemen gambled. He had no idea if the one in question did so to excess. “What about the Billington heir?
