The Women Who Ran Away Quotes

“I believed a man...And it was stupidest thing I ever did.”
― Sheila O'Flanagan, The Women Who Ran Away

“Back in the time of Cervantes, there was little talk about your entitlement to happiness. It was all about surviving. Surviving life, surviving unhappy arranged marriages, surviving multiple pregnancies, surviving being a husband's possession. She wouldn't have had a choice not to get married or have children, she thought. The only way of avoiding it would have been to become a nun.”
― Sheila O'Flanagan, The Women Who Ran Away
