"I want a children. And I can't do it without your help. You have a womb and can grow a new person. I can't." I never before thought of this as a form of female powerthat men lacked.

"The boys areright. they are men, and heroes, and they have to act as they think best." - She just called them boys and then she uses the word 'men'. Which could show she doesn't truely see them as men?

I really like this quote.
