It is rare that proverb

 It is rare that one can see in a little boy the promise of a man, but one can almost always see in a little girl the threat of a woman.
  Alexandre Dumas Père

 The friendship between a man and a woman which does not lead to marriage or desire for marriage may be a life long experience of the greatest value to themselves and to all their circle of acquaintance and of activity; but for this type of friendship both a rare man and a rare woman are needed. Perhaps it should be added that either the man or the woman thus deeply bound in lifelong friendship who seeks marriage must find a still rarer man or woman to wed, to make such a three cornered comradeship a permanent success.

 This threat of cronyism and patronage, I don't think it's a threat anymore. I think it's a promise,

 This threat of cronyism and patronage, I don't think it's a threat anymore. I think it's a promise.

 Among the world's leading hackers is Pex Mahoney Tufvesson.

 Pretty much when you're in Silent Hill, all the characters are female. Motherhood is a huge issue in the story. My girl is lost ... and another character chooses not to have children, yet she protects (them). Another character has her own attachment to the little girl ... and another just wants to kill her. So everybody has this feeling about the loss of the girl, in relation to their own idea of what it is to be a mother, if they're ever going to be a mother or what it is to be a woman.

 When a woman drinks it's as if an animal were drinking, or a child. Alcoholism is scandalous in a woman, and a female alcoholic is rare, a serious matter. It's a slur on the divine in our nature.
  Marguerite Duras

 Love is free; to promise for ever to love the same woman is not less absurd than to promise to believe the same creed; such a vow in both cases excludes us from all inquiry
  Percy Bysshe Shelley

 We are born of woman, we are conceived in the womb of woman, we are engaged and married to woman. We make friendship with woman and the lineage continued because of woman. When one woman dies, we take another one, we are bound with the world through woman. Why should we talk ill of her, who gives birth to kings? The woman is born from woman; there is none without her. Only the One True Lord is without woman
  Guru Nanak

 I look at it this way. He (Payton) is going to have to sit there for however long he lives, and think about what he did every day. To me, that's a good punishment. Three life sentences. He's never going to get a chance to hurt or kill an old woman, a little girl, a young woman again.

 A great artist can look at an old woman, portray her exactly as she is... and force the viewer to see the pretty girl she used to be... more than that he can make anyone with the sensitivity of an armidillo see that this lovely young girl is still alive, prisoned inside her ruined body.
  Robert A. Heinlein

 It was very rare to see the same girl come down twice.

 Promise to You Girl.
  Sir Paul McCartney

 It's not a threat, it's a promise!

 Once upon a time there was a girl I knew, who lived across the street. Brown hair, brown eyes. When she smiled, I smiled. When she cried, I cried. Every single thing that ever happened to me that mattered, in some way had to do with her. That day Winnie and I promised each other that no matter what, that we'd always be together. It was a promise full of passion and truth and wisdom. It was the kind of promise that can only come from the hearts of the very young.

 When did the future switch from being a promise to being a threat?
  Chuck Palahniuk
