“…it becomes easier to risk death or maiming than to say no to a man who will fuck you anyway, with the blessings of God and state, ‘til death do you part”

“Bathsheba loved Troy in the way that only self-reliant women love when they abandon their self-reliance. When a strong woman recklessly throws away her strength she is worse than a weak woman who has never any strength to throw away. One source of her inadequacy is the novelty of the occasion. She has never had practice in making the best of such a condition. Weakness is doubly weak by being new.”
― Thomas Hardy, Far From the Madding Crowd

“All human beings are practicing historians.”
― Gerda Lerner, Why History Matters: Life and Thought
