“And I swear to you, he looked murderous. He stepped right up to me, the way a man will when he wants to remind you what he could do, if he wanted.”

“Because men’s crimes are always ours in the final analysis, aren’t they, Mr. Strike? Ultimate responsibility always lies with the woman, who should have stopped it, who should have acted, who must have known. Your failings are really our failings, aren’t they? Because the proper role of the woman is carer, and there’s nothing lower in this whole world than a bad mother.”

“She quoted Simone de Beauvoir once, during a staff meeting. She’d sworn when she dropped her pen, and Dr. Brenner said, ‘People are always asking me what it’s like working with a lady doctor, and if I ever meet one, I’ll be able to tell them.’ Dorothy laughed—she hardly ever laughed—and Margot snapped right back at him—I know the quotation off by heart now, in French, too—‘Man is defined as a human being and a woman as a female—whenever she behaves as a human being she is said to imitate the male.”

“Ey hemşehriler! Niçin uyanıp bu sefalet tozundan silkinmeye uğraşmıyorsunuz? Kabahat herkesten çok kendinizde… Siz, sizi bu cehalet ve geriliğe bağlayan fikirlere destek ve taraftarsınız. Cidden fikirlerinizi aydınlatmaya uğraşanlara sövüp onların iyi, yeni, besleyici, güzel telkinlerini adeta cinayet sayıyorsunuz. Onlar, sizin cahilce kınamalarınızdan korkmasalar, lânetlemelerinizden çekinmeseler, kaç zamandır artık kangrene dönmüş, çürüyüp kokmaya başlamış bu derin gerilik yarasının kaynağını size pek büyük bir açıklıkla gösterecekler… Duyduğunuz her yeni fikre kızmayınız. Onları güzelce kabul için anlama kabiliyeti edinmeye uğraşınız.”
