      For Sarah, Emma, and Thomas

      It is a very human foolishness to insist on the presence of a knife or a gun or a fist in order to recognize the existence of force, when often the most compelling forces on this earth present intangibly, in coercive situations.

      —Rachel Moran, Paid For: My Journey through Prostitution

      It is a terrible thing, this kindness that human beings do not lose. Terrible, because when we are finally naked in the dark and cold, it is all we have. We who are so rich, so full of strength, we end up with that small change. We have nothing else to give.

      —Ursula K. LeGuin, The Left Hand of Darkness

      So I pressed and the lustrous goddess answered me in turn: “Royal son of Laertes, Odysseus, old campaigner, stay on no more in my house against your will. But first another journey calls. . . .”

      —Homer, The Odyssey, Book X, Robert Fagles translation
