“Yet not for a single moment did I have any doubts about my own integrity and honour as a woman. I knew that my profession had been invented by men, and that men were in control of both our worlds, the one on earth, and the one in heaven. That men force women to sell their bodies at a price, and that the lowest paid body is that of a wife. All women are prostitutes of one kind or another.”

“... o ilk günden beri güneş daha az sıcak, daha az aydınlık, gece daha karanlık oldu; hareket hızını yitirdi, düşüncelere bir ağırlık geldi. Bazı insanları toprağa gömeriz, ama öyle insanlar vardır ki onların kefenleri yüreğimiz olmuştur, anıları her gün kalbimizin çarpışıyla beraberdir, soluk alır gibi onları düşünürüz, aşka özgü bir ruh titreşiminin tatlı yasasıyla varlığımıza sinmişlerdir. Bir ruh var ruhumda. Ben bir iyilik mi ettim, güzel bir söz mü söyledim, içimde bulunan o ruh hareket ediyor, konuşuyor; havaya yayılan güzel kokunun bir zambaktan gelişi gibi.”
