“Male fantasies, male fantasies, is everything run by male fantasies? Up on a pedestal or down on your knees, it's all a male fantasy: that you're strong enough to take what they dish out, or else too weak to do anything about it. Even pretending you aren't catering to male fantasies is a male fantasy: pretending you're unseen, pretending you have a life of your own, that you can wash your feet and comb your hair unconscious of the ever-present watcher peering through the keyhole, peering through the keyhole in your own head, if nowhere else. You are a woman with a man inside watching a woman. You are your own voyeur.”
― Margaret Atwood, The Robber Bride

“तेजस्वी सम्मान खोजते नहीं गोत्र बतलाके,
पाते हैं जग से प्रशस्ति अपना करतब दिखलाके|
हीन मूल की ओर देख जग गलत कहे या ठीक,
वीर खींचकर ही रहते हैं इतिहासों में लीक”
― Ramdhari Singh Dinkar, रश्मिरथी
