"[I]f a book is a good one, it is so whatever the sex of the author may be. All novels are, or should be, written for both men and women to read, and I am at a loss to conceive how a man should permit himself to write anything that would be really disgraceful to a woman, or why a woman should be censured for writing anything that would be proper and becoming for a man." — Mar 02, 2018 10:05PM

And old women sometimes grow fat and their voices get rough and deep and they grow dark little mustaches." — Dec 03, 2013 09:07PM
