"Beware of the man who doesn't see you as a queen. He doesn't see your real face - because he doesn't love you. He who loves you, and as long as he loves you: looks up to you. Beware of someone who only sees you as a servant, a mother, an instrument of his selfishness, or an asset, and is not looking for a woman with a sense of self. Beware of those who fear your dignity and self-confidence, because they feel inferior next to you. You may be able to live with such a person, since life is also the art of compromise - but you cannot be happy with him. Whether he really loves you, or just emotionally, or depends on you for some other reason, you can infallibly determine how free you feel with him.

""Óvakodj attól a férfitól, aki nem királynőnek lát. Nem látja igazi arcodat - mert nem szeret. Aki szeret, és amíg szeret: fölfelé néz rád. Óvakodj attól, aki benned a szolgát, az anyukáját, önzésének eszközét, vagy birtokát látja csupán, és nem az önérzetes nőt keresi. Óvakodj attól, aki tart a méltóságodtól és az öntudatodtól, mert kisebbnek érzi magát melletted. Élni talán tudsz egy ilyen emberrel, hiszen az élet a kompromisszumok művészete is - de boldog nem lehetsz vele. Hogy szeret-e valójában, vagy csak érzelmileg, vagy más okból függ tőled, onnan tudod tévedhetetlenül megállapítani, hogy mennyire érzed magad szabadnak mellette."
