Summary

This quote suggests that society often believes that marriage serves as enough compensation for any mistreatment or wrongdoings committed against a single woman. It implies a general assumption that once a woman is married, her value and worth are restored, regardless of previous mistreatment or unfair treatment. This can reflect a societal mindset that tends to prioritize the institution of marriage over the well-being and agency of individual women.

In general, only individuals of exceptional endowments, and exceptionally high-minded communities, rise to any considerable extent above this level. But there is a third stage of religious experience which belongs to all of them, even though it is rarely found in a pure form: I shall call it cosmic religious feeling.

My grandmother had six kids - one died as an infant - and she was dirt-poor, and all her kids got an education. And my mom grew up poor. And they both worked so hard and cultivated so much of their own happiness. I wanted to have that like an amulet. Not like armor, but like a magic feather. Like Dumbo's magic feather.
