More From Plutarch

From woman, man is born; within woman, man is conceived; to woman he is engaged and married. woman becomes his friend; through woman, the future generations come. when his woman dies, he seeks another woman; to woman he is bound. so why call her bad? from her, kings are born. from woman, woman is born; without woman, there would be no one at all.
Kings Men Generations
We are born of woman, we are conceived in the womb of woman, we are engaged and married to woman. we make friendship with woman and the lineage continued because of woman. when one woman dies, we take another one, we are bound with the world through woman. why should we talk ill of her, who gives birth to kings? the woman is born from woman; there is none without her. only the one true lord is without woman
Kings Giving World
To be a woman condemned to a wretched and disgraceful punishment is no impediment to beauty, but it is an insurmountable obstacle to power. like all persons of real genius, her ladyship well knew what accorded with her nature and her means. poverty disgusted her -subjection deprived her of two-thirds of her greatness. her ladyship was only a queen amongst queens: the enjoyment of satisfied pride was essential to her sway. to command beings of an inferior nature, was, to her, rather a humiliation than a pleasure.
Queens Real Mean
In the nineteenth year and the eleventh month speak your tattered kaddish for all suicides: praise to life though it crumbled in like a tunnel on ones we knew and loved praise to life though its windows blew shut on the breathing-room of ones we knew and loved praise to life though ones we knew and loved loved it badly, too well, and not enough praise to life though it tightened like a knot on the hearts of ones we thought we knew loved us praise to life giving room and reason to ones we knew and loved who felt unpraisable. praise to them, how they loved it, when they could.
Suicide Heart Years
She had sacrificed her childhood to save her brothers; she loved her family above all else, and her spirits yearned to return home once more, to the wild forest and the land of mystic tales and ancient spirits whence he had taken her. that was the place of her heart, and if he loved her, he must let her go.
Brother Taken Home
It was a good script [something new]. we have not seen an interracial issue dealt with from a black woman and white man's perspective in this way. and, usually, it's a black man, white woman. i loved the fact that it wasn't about the couple being against the world or the couple against the family. i loved the fact that it was her dealing with her own prejudices that came up, her own guilt, her own shame and embarrassment about what her peers thought.

We are one of those couples i used to watch, thinking to myself that i'd never be on the inside of something so special. i remember reassuring myself that it probably looked nicer than it actually was, i am happy to be wrong about that.
