-Charles Dickens, in "A Tale Of Two Cities" |

I'm okay with it as long as it's okay with the other person. |
Let me live. |
I don't wish to defeat my enemies before I can understand them. |
Do we have to stick to gender roles? Because if a man demands me to wash dishes for the rest of my life, I'll kill him. |
