Hiron Ennes
“When they talk to themselves, the ears that listen invariably belong to the mouth that speaks. They will never know the true sound of their own voices.”
Hiron Ennes, Leech

Lemony Snicket
“Te amaría si no te volviera a ver nunca más y te amaría si te viera todos los días.

I would love you if I never saw you again and I would love you if I saw you every Tuesday.”
Lemony Snicket

Ryan  Cahill
“Erik shrugged. “We didn’t have many options. I tossed a coin.” Dann’s eyes widened. “You tossed a fucking coin?” Erik shrugged again. “Yup.” Dann’s face twisted in disbelief as he muttered, “A coin… he tossed a fucking coin.”
Ryan Cahill, Of Blood and Fire

Gerda Lerner
“First of all, nobody gave us anything. It makes me furious when I hear that they gave us suffrage. Excuse me? It took 72 years of unrelenting, unbroken organizing grassroots effort to get women's suffrage. It took 113 years to get rid of child labor by law. It took similarly long periods of organized effort to accomplish any advance in social policy.”
Gerda Lerner

Gerda Lerner
“It should be noted that when we speak of relative improvements in the status of women in a given society, this frequently means only that we are seeing improvements in the degree in which their situation affords them opportunities to exert some leverage within the system of patriarchy. Where women have relatively more economic power, they are able to have somewhat more control over their lives than in societies where they have no economic power. Similarly, the existence of women’s groups, associations, or economic networks serves to increase the ability of women to counteract the dictates of their particular patriarchal system. Some anthropologists and historians have called this relative improvement women’s “freedom.” Such a designation is illusory and unwarranted. Reforms and legal changes, while ameliorating the condition of women and an essential part of the process of emancipating them, will not basically change patriarchy. Such reforms need to be integrated within a vast cultural revolution in order to transform patriarchy and thus abolish it.”
Gerda Lerner, The Creation of Patriarchy
