“I am more than just what I do; I am a person, and I am alive, and that is purpose enough.”
Julie Leong, The Teller of Small Fortunes

“He looked at Mash in befuddlement, who simply shrugged back—the universal symbol of men who have failed to understand something very important.”
Julie Leong, The Teller of Small Fortunes

“While protesting a staff of nerdy, underpaid lexicographers is not the most effective way to enact social change, it is true that as a society, treating dictionary definitions as fixed, unbiased facts is a mistake. Word meanings and cultural beliefs go hand in hand, and they are both changing all the time.”
Amanda Montell, Wordslut: A Feminist Guide to Taking Back the English Language

“Can't get eager pilots...if they're afraid of their partners...every battle."
"You don't think girls are afraid?"
"Girls...know how to sacrifice.”
Xiran Jay Zhao, Iron Widow

“Girl talk,” suggests that when women converse with one another it’s inherently featherbrained and precious. Not to mention the implication that women all talk to each other in private the same way. When Supreme Court justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sonia Sotomayor run into each other in the bathroom between hearings, do their sink-side exchanges also count as “girl talk?”
