She looked into Kirsten's eyes and wondered how it is that a soldier fights and a savior suffers, but a woman, in lying down, rules everything.

I'm not ashamed to dress "like a woman" because I don't think it's shameful to be a woman.

Here is nature once more at her old game of self-preservation. This train of thought, she perceives, is threatening mere waste of energy, even some collision with reality, for who will ever be able to lift a finger against Whitaker’s Table of Precedency?

Everybody follows somebody, such is the philosophy of Whitaker; and the great thing is to know who follows whom.

Still, there’s no harm in putting a full stop to one’s disagreeable thoughts by looking at a mark on the wall.

But I am, personally, not a gambler. I wouldn’t spend £1 on the lottery, let alone take a punt on a pregnancy. The stakes are far, far too high. I can’t agree with a society that would force me to bet on how much I could love under duress.
