1 " Where is your false, your treacherous, and cursed wife?" " She's gone forrard to the Police Office," returns Mr Bucket. " You'll see her there, my dear." " I would like to kiss her!" exclaims Mademoiselle Hortense, panting tigress-like. " You'd bite her, I suspect," says Mr Bucket." I would!" making her eyes very large. " I would love to tear her, limb from limb." " Bless you, darling," says Mr Bucket, with the greatest composure; " I'm fully prepared to hear that. Your sex have such a surprising animosity against one another, when you do differ. "
2 " The Klan as an Order stands behind Pure Womanhood and it is an inspiration to look into the face of one of your sex occupying the sacred desk and administering the Word of God to this people. "
3 " If you are embarrassed about your sex, it must mean that you feel there is something demeaning or disgusting about being female. You are all wondrously made, girls. Remember that: wondrously made, and you should carry your sex proudly, a badge of honor. "

5 " There are people everywhere who form a Fourth World, or a diaspora of their own.They are the lordly ones! They come in all colors.They can be Christians or Hindus or Muslims or Jews or pagans or atheists.They can be young or old, men or women, soldiers or pacifists, rich or poor.They may be patriots, but they are never chauvinists.They share with each other, across all the nations, common values of humor and understanding.When you are among them you know you will not be mocked or resented, because they will not care about your race, your faith, your sex or your nationality, and they suffer fools if not gladly, at least sympathetically.They laugh easily. They are easily grateful. They are never mean.They are not inhibited by fashion, public opinion, or political correctness.They are exiles in their own communities, because they are always in a minority, but they form a mighty nation, if they only knew it.It is the nation of nowhere. "
