Стр. 75 - The man's power is active, progressive, defensive. He is eminently the doer, the creator, the discoverer, the defender. His intellect is for speculation and invention; his energy for adventure, for war and for conquest, wherever war is just, wherever conquest necessary. But the woman's power is for rule, not for battle, — and her intellect is not for invention or creation, but for sweet ordering, arrangement, and decision.
Стр. 75 - She must be enduringly, incorruptibly good; instinctively, infallibly wise — wise, not for self-development, but for self-renunciation: wise, not that she may set herself above her husband, but that she may never fail from his side...
Стр. 13 - I use this term here metaphorically, not literally: diaspora does not refer us to those scattered tribes whose identity can only be secured in relation to some sacred homeland to which they must at all costs return, even if it means pushing other people into the sea.

Стр. 43 - ... between phallus and penis, I began to notice that whenever any Lacanian set out to clear up the confusion between phallus and penis, she or he inevitably fell into the same sort of confusion the effort was meant to remedy. I do not pretend to be able to escape this confusion myself. I believe it to be a symptom of the impossibility, at this moment in our history, to think a masculine that is not phallic, a masculine that can couple with a feminine.
