“Concluderò perciò dicendovi che a mio avviso il femminismo è tutt'altro che superato, e che bisogna anzi mantenerlo vivo; opporvisi, negarlo, non significa superare qualcosa, significa regredire. Penso che il femminismo sia una causa comune per l'uomo e per la donna, e che gli uomini riusciranno a vivere in un mondo più equo, meglio organizzato, un mondo più valido, soltanto quando le donne avranno uno status più equo e più valido; la conquista dell'uguaglianza tra i sessi li riguarda entrambi. D'altra parte, le donne non devono limitarsi a rivendicazioni specifiche. Bisogna che ne allarghino la portata, e che lottino anche a fianco degli uomini per un cambiamento generale della società, perché riusciranno a fare trionfare la propria causa solamente aiutando il progresso dell'umanità tutta intera.”

“I detest the masculine point of view. I am bored by his heroism, virtue, and honour. I think the best these men can do is not talk about themselves anymore.”

“This is how they survive. You must know this. You're too smart not to know this.
They paint the world full of shadows... and then tell their children to stay close to the light. Their light. Their reasons, their judgments. Because in the darkness, there be dragons. But it isn't true. We can prove that it isn't true. In the dark, there is discovery, there is possibility, there is freedom in the dark once someone has illuminated it.
All this will be for nothing. We will have been for nothing. Defined by their histories... distorted to fit into their narrative... until all that is left of us are the monsters in the stories they tell their children.”
