“When we were only acquaintances, you let me be myself, but now you're always protecting me... I won't be protected. I will choose for myself what is ladylike and right. To shield me is an insult. Can't I be trusted to face the truth but I must get it second-hand through you? A woman's place!”

“And in despair I bowed my head;
"There is no peace on earth," I said;
"For hate is strong,

Only the strongest people have the pluck to change their minds, and say so, if they see they have been wrong in their ideas.”
