“ Woman enjoys that incomparable privilege: irresponsibility.

The Second Sex

Simone de Beauvoir

“ If her functioning as a female is not enough to define woman, if we decline also to explain her through “the eternal feminine,” and if nevertheless we admit, provisionally, that women do exist, then we must face the question: what is a woman? … The fact that I ask it is in itself significant. A man would never get the notion of writing a book on the peculiar situation of the human male. But if I wish to define myself, I must first of all say, ”I am a woman”; on this truth must be based all further discussion.

“Who’s done it?” cried Susan. “What does it mean? Is it more magic?”

“But what does it all mean?” asked Susan when they were somewhat calmer.

“It means,” said Aslan, “that though the Witch knew the Deep Magic, there is a magic deeper still which she did not know. Her knowledge goes back only to the dawn of time. But if she could have looked a little further back, into the stillness and the darkness before Time dawned, she would have read there a different incantation. She would have known that when a willing victim who had committed no treachery was killed in a traitor’s stead, the Table would crack and Death itself would start working backward.”

C. S. Lewis

“ I want you to show them the difference between what they think you are and what you can be.

A Lesson Before Dying

Ernest J. Gaines

“ [Valjean] strained his eyes in the distance and called out … “Petit Gervais! …” His cries died away into the mist, without even awaking an echo… . [H]is knees suddenly bent under him, as if an invisible power suddenly overwhelmed him with the weight of his bad conscience; he fell exhausted … and cried out, “I’m such a miserable man!

“ Mortality had remained a conveniently hypothetical concept, an idea to ponder in the abstract. Sooner of later the divestiture of such a privileged innocence was inevitable, but when it finally happened the shock was magnified by the sheer superfluity of the carnage… Into Thin Air
