“Méfie-toi, ma fille, tous les hommes de ce pays sont des monstres pour les femmes. Ils sont obsédés par les apparences, ils sont ligotés par les coutumes, ils sont rongés par Dieu, ils sont bouffés par leurs mères, ils sont taraudés par le fric, ils passent leur vie à offrir sur un plateau leur cul au bon Dieu, ils ouvrent leur braguette comme on arme une mitraillette, ils lâchent leur sexe sur les femmes, comme on lâche des pitbulls. Quels chiens !" (p.10)”
