“J'aimais cette idée d'un homme qui voit clair en vous et qui prend l'initiative du rapprochement ; ce qui, probablement, révèle surtout à quel point j'étais tétanisée à la perspective de devoir formuler ou assumer mes désirs, ou de devoir prendre moi-même une initiative quelconque - revoilà le rêve d'être prise en charge par un homme providentiel, que j'évoquais au chapitre précédent. (p. 236)”
― Mona Chollet, Réinventer l'amour: Comment le patriarcat sabote les relations hétérosexuelles
