In a sane society no woman would be left to struggle on her own with the huge transformation that is motherhood, when a single individual finds herself joined by an invisible umbilical cord to another person from whom she will never be separated, even by death. View quote
Germaine Greer

And you will ask yourself if there is anything besides the nothingness of the world and your own nothingness. View quote
