My happiness mattered not a whit more than the next person's - or the next fish's, or the next grass-blade's! - and not a whit less.

It was one thing not to want a husband, I realized; it was quite another not to need one for the roof over your head, for your meat and bread, for the shoes on your feet and the coat on your back.
