― George R.R. Martin, A Dance with Dragons

“I do not think I ever opened a book in my life which had not something to say upon woman's inconstancy. Songs and proverbs, all talk of woman's fickleness. But perhaps you will say, these were all written by men."

"Perhaps I shall. Yes, yes, if you please, no reference to examples in books. Men have had every advantage of us in telling their own story. Education has been theirs in so much higher a degree; the pen has been in their hands. I will not allow books to prove anything.”
― Jane Austen, Persuasion

“A children's story that can only be enjoyed by children is not a good children's story in the slightest.”
― C.S. Lewis

“A feminist is anyone who recognizes the equality and full humanity of women and men.”
― Gloria Steinem
