Try me.
This is a torch song.

“If you want to know what's in motherhood for you, as a woman, then - in truth - it's nothing you couldn't get from, say, reading the 100 greatest books in human history; learning a foreign language well enough to argue in it; climbing hills; loving recklessly; sitting quietly, alone, in the dawn; drinking whisky with revolutionaries; learning to do close-hand magic; swimming in a river in winter; growing foxgloves, peas and roses; calling your mum; singing while you walk; being polite; and always, always helping strangers. No one has ever claimed for a moment that childless men have missed out on a vital aspect of their existence, and were the poorer, and crippled by it.”
― Caitlin Moran, How to Be a Woman

“The powerful don’t make revolutions”
― Marge Piercy, Woman on the Edge of Time

“Some cities are women and must be loved; others are men and can only be admired or bargained with”
― Angela Carter, The Infernal Desire Machines of Doctor Hoffman
