“You probably think I’m a prude.’
‘So? You shouldn’t care what we think, Célie- or anyone else, for that matter. Don’t forfeit your power like that.’
‘Because who cares if you’re a prude? Who cares if we’re whores? They’re just words.’

‘What do they want us to be?’
‘Theirs.’
‘Be prudish and proud, Célie. We’ll be whorish and happy.”
― Gods & Monsters
