We are volcanoes. When we women offer our experience as our truth, as human truth, all the maps change. There are new mountains.
-Ursula K. Le Guin

The chief thing about a woman -- who is much of a woman -- is that in the long run she is not to be had... She is not to be caught by any of the catch-words, love, beauty, honor, duty, worth, work, salvation -- none of them -- not in the long run. In the long run she only says "Am I satisfied, or is there some beastly dissatisfaction gnawing and gnawing inside me." And if there is some dissatisfaction, it is physical, at least as much as psychic, sex as much as soul.
-D. H. Lawrence

Eagles come in all shapes and sizes, but you will recognize them chiefly by their attitudes.
-Charles Prestwich Scott
