“She began to touch it gently, like something really beautiful. “You know, you could make a woman feel real good with this thing. Maybe better than she ever felt in her life.” She stopped stroking the dildo. “Or you could really hurt her, and remind her of all the ways she’s ever been hurt in her life. You got to think about that every time you strap this on. Then you’ll be a good lover.”
― Leslie Feinberg, Stone Butch Blues

“The Duchesse de Langeais will be happy that she might weep and be a power for you, still.
Yes, you will regret me. I see clearly that I am not of this world, and I thank you for making it clear to me.
Farewell. You will never touch my axe. Yours was the executioner's axe, mine is god's. Yours kills, mine saves. Your love was but mortal, it could not endure disdain or ridicule. Mine can endure all things without growing weaker.”
― Honoré de Balzac, La Duchesse de Langeais / La Fille aux yeux d'or

“Come, begin with your objections. You're not a woman if you have not a whole bag-full of them ready to turn down any reasonable proposal.”
― Elizabeth Gaskell, Ruth
