“As a scholar, it was her job to see things in relationship to other things; the only thing she couldn't see in a relationship was herself.”

“I could not help but wonder, then as now, When we look at a man or a woman, what is it that we see? We make too much of the difference: having been both, I can say the distinctions are both greater and less than they appear.
