More quotes
"The mistakes that we male and female mortals make when we have our own way might fairly raise some wonder that we are so fond of it."
-Middlemarch, by George Eliot
"Femininity is not the thing I hate once a month, it is not a collection of fatty deposits, not a style of clothing, or an overabundance of specific hormones. Femininity is a part of my essence, or philosophically speaking, my soul. Femininity is who I am, not merely what I do."
-Ruby Slippers, by Jonalyn Grace Fincher

Literary quotes
Here are a couple quotes that struck me as I was reading this week:
–Mary Crawford (Mansfield Park, by Jane Austen)
“He was, and is yet most likely, the wearisomest self-righteous Pharisee that ever ransacked a Bible to rake the promises to himself and fling the curses to his neighbours.”
–Nelly Dean, in reference to Joseph (Wuthering Heights, by Emily Brontë)
“[Marriage] is, of all transactions, the one in which people expect most from others, and are least honest themselves.”
–Mary Crawford (Mansfield Park, by Jane Austen)
