Summary

This quote is a playful and sarcastic remark spoken by a dog, symbolizing the power dynamics and social hierarchy prevalent in society. It suggests that even dogs have a sense of pride and status, mocking the human tendency to define and distinguish themselves through social identities and affiliations. The quote underscores the absurdity of such distinctions by highlighting the dog's ironic question about ownership, implying that human social hierarchies may be just as arbitrary and trivial as determining who owns a specific dog.

A woman cannot do the thing she ought, which means whatever perfect thing she can, in life, in art, in science, but she fears to let the perfect action take her part and rest there: she must prove what she can do before she does it, -- prate of woman's rights, of woman's mission, woman's function, till the men (who are prating, too, on their side) cry, A woman's function plainly is... to talk. Poor souls, they are very reasonably vexed!

Patience, though I have not The thing that I require,I must of force, God wot,Forbear my most desire;For no ways can I findTo sail against the wind.Patience, do what they willTo work me woe or spite,I shall content me stillTo think both day and night;To think and hold my peace,Since there is no redress.Patience, withouten blame,For I offended nought,I know they know the same,Though they have changed their thought.Was ever thought so movedTo hate that it hath loved?Patience of all my harm,For fortune is my foe;Patience must be the charmTo heal me of my woe.Patience without offenceIs a painful patience.
