Quotation from: The Valley of the Moon

Written by: Jack London


"And I want you to understand it," Saxon continued. "It makes a
woman proud to have men fight over her. I am proud. Do you hear?
I am proud. I want you to tell them so. I want you to tell all
your neighbors. Tell everybody. I am no cow. Men like me. Men
fight for me. Men go to jail for me. What is a woman in the world
for, if it isn't to have men like her? Now, go, Sarah; go at
once, and tell everybody what you've read between the lines. Tell
them Billy is a jailbird and that I am a bad woman whom all men
desire. Shout it out, and good luck to you. And get out of my
house. And never put your feet in it again. You are too decent a
woman to come here. You might lose your reputation. And think of
your children. Now get out. Go."
