Стр. 297 - Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight. I love thee freely, as men strive for right. I love thee purely, as they turn from praise. I love thee with the passion put to use In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith. I love thee with a love I seemed to lose With my lost saints.
Стр. 297 - Go from me. Yet I feel that I shall stand Henceforward in thy shadow.

Стр. 192 - What woman is not a nun, sacrificed, self-sacrificing, without a life of her own, sequestered from the world? What change has there been in the life of women through the centuries?
Стр. 117 - ... all friendship between women — has a uterine air about it, the air of a slow, bloody, cruel, incomplete exchange, of an original situation being repeated all over again".
Стр. 191 - Beginning with Mariana, the first of us, I belong to the seventh generation, a spontaneous, philosophically minded offshoot of this female line, which has as its point of departure the worldly deeds of a nun, then goes on from that point, gradually becoming aware of itself, of its necessity for being — and hence a lineage opposed to the forgetting and the diluting, the rapid absorption of a scandal within the peace of the family circle and the reigning social order. If men create families and lineages...
Стр. 119 - He who would thoroughly know the vanity of man, has only to consider the causes and the effects of love. The cause is a je ne sais quoi, an indefinable trifle ; the effects are monstrous.
