“Since when did we as a species abide by good sense? Why do cowardly men strike their wives after a reprimand at work? Why do mothers scream at their children after a beating by their husbands? Those unable to conquer their misfortunes take their fury out on more convenient targets. It does not surprise me that women were forced into stricter subservience after Huaxia suffered a major defeat.”
― Xiran Jay Zhao, Heavenly Tyrant

“After all, a society that takes care of its own does not produce children who grow up dreaming of burning it down.”
― Xiran Jay Zhao, Heavenly Tyrant

“I can only think that the business with the apple must have upset him more than I realised.”
― Douglas Adams, Last Chance to See
