“But there are none so frightened, or so strange in their fear, as conquerors. They conjure phantoms endlessly, terrified that their victims will someday do back what was done to them—even if, in truth, their victims couldn’t care less about such pettiness and have moved on.

“Gauvin reprit :
-Et la femme? qu'en faites-vous?
Cimourdain répondit:
-Ce qu'elle est. La servante de l'homme.
-Oui. À une condition.
-Laquelle?
-C'est que l'homme sera le serviteur de la femme.

-Oui. À une condition.
-Laquelle?
-C'est que la femme y sera reine.”
