Oh, the holiness of always being the injured party. The historically oppressed can find not only sanctity but safety in the state ...of victimization. When access to a better life has been denied often enough, and successfully enough, one can use the rejection as an excuse to cease all efforts. After all, one reckons, "they" don't want me, "they" accept their own mediocrity and refuse my best, "they" don't deserve me.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

How easily we could spell if we could follow, Like thread looped through the eye of a needle,... The grooves of light. It resists. But we stay behind, among them, The injured, the adored.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
We tried pathetic appeals to the wandering waiters, who told us "they are coming, Sir" in a soothing tone--and we tried stern remo...nstrance, & they then said "they are coming, Sir" in a more injured tone; & after all such appeals they retired into their dens, and hid themselves behind sideboards and dish-covers, still the chops came not.

Shakespeare ... makes Demetrius say to a young lady who follows him into a lonely wood that he wonders she will trust herself (bei...ng both young and handsome) in such a solitary place with one who loved her not. Most of the dabblers in human nature would have made his want of love for her an argument of her security, and would have supposed the danger to have arisen from being alone with a man who really loved her--which translated into plain English is neither more nor less than affirming that a man would not desire to injure the woman he doth not love but would not care how much he injured the women for whom he had a sincere affection.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
All history attests that man has subjected woman to his will, used her as a means to promote his selfish gratification, to ministe...r to his sensual pleasures, to be instrumental in promoting his comfort; but never has he desired to elevate her to that rank she was created to fill. He has done all he could to debase and enslave her mind; and now he looks triumphantly on the ruin he has wrought, and say, the being he has thus deeply injured is his inferior.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
