“So stay inside, will you tonight,
lest she knock on your door
with the same dagger in her hand
that you used to pull out his rib
and push inside her instead.
So stay inside, will you tonight
for she has tasted the fruit of knowledge
and she knows, how there are things
that she can make even you, dear father,
curl up in horror and dismay.”

but all women and how they're absurd?
Now that's just a fact.”

“So every time you do any of this,
just ask yourself a simple thing:
if you have a daughter one day,
would you want her feeling this way?
And if you answer me no today,

“because to be is to exist
and to exist is to think and know and want
and those are the things
girls who are good haven't got.
So just don't be

then you are spending moments
pretending you're not a nobody.”

They know their worth
