I'm a housewife and a prostitute, both of us living in the same body and doing battle with each other.”

    Charlotte Brontë
    “If men could see us as we really are, they would be a little amazed; but the cleverest, the acutest men are often under an illusion about women: they do not read them in a true light: they misapprehend them, both for good and evil: their good woman is a queer thing, half doll, half angel; their bad woman almost always a fiend.”
