• We think of a feminist as someone a woman becomes in reaction to personal indignities and social injustices. But the truth is, such inequities only awaken her to the feminist she has always fundamentally been - that is, a person who understands that her first responsibility is to her own humanity.

• La verdad es siempre coherente consigo misma, y no necesita nada que la ayude. Está siempre a mano, y se sienta en nuestros labios, y está lista para caerse antes de que nos demos cuenta; mientras que una mentira es problemática, y pone la invención de un hombre en el potro; y un truco necesita muchos más para hacerlo bueno.

Para mí, la verdad es que las cosas significan muchas cosas a la vez, y todas ellas opuestas entre sí, y todas ellas verdaderas.
