记忆是连接过去与未来的桥梁。

I'm just a woman. And as a woman， I have no way to make money， not enough to earn a living and support my family. Even if I had my own money， which I don’t， it would belong to my husband the minute we were married. If we had children they would belong to him， not me. They would be his property. So don’t sit there and tell me that marriage isn’t an economic proposition， because it is.

History is not just a record of events; it is the soul of a people, their dreams and struggles.

I'm a feminist, but I think that romance has been taken away a bit for my generation. I think what people connect with in novels is this idea of an overpowering, encompassing love—and it being more important and special than anything and everything else.
