“Nothing could be taken for granted. Women who loved you tried to cut your throat, while women who didn't even know your name scrubbed your back.

― Toni Morrison, Song of Solomon

“I could understand ignorance, but I could not accept its glorification, still less its right to rule.”
― Jung Chang, Wild Swans: Three Daughters of China

“Be patient with him. If the same quality did not exist in you, you wouldn’t notice it in him.”
