I was a sour misanthrope, a beetling hypocrite, a conjurer's daughter, a mad and murderous king.Collection: Daughter

Our mythology tells us so much about fathers and sons. ... What do we know about mothers and daughters? ... Our power is so oblique, so hidden, so ethereal a matter, that we rarely struggle with our daughters over actual kingdoms or corporate shares.

We too must be afraid and awed and amazed that we cannot live forever and that our replacements are eager for their turn, indifferent to our wishes, ready to leave us behind.Collection: Daughter

Bid them farewell, Cordelia, though unkind: Thou losest here, a better where to find.Collection: Daughter

My library is my kingdom, and here I try to make my rule absolute-shutting off this single nook from wife, daughter and society. Elsewhere I have only a verbal authority, and vague.
