someone recognized wiser than oneself."

"In this dirty-minded world, she thought, you are either somebody's wife or somebody's whore -- or fast on your way to becoming one or the other. If you don't fit either category, then everyone tries to make you think there is something wrong with you. But, she thought, there is nothing wrong with me."
-- the thoughts of Jenny Fields, a character in John Irving's "The World According to Garp"

Fran, this one made me think of the classic Rebecca West quotation:
"People call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a doormat or a prostitute."
Pipedream:
"You cannot hope to build a better world without improving the individuals. To that end each of us must work for his own improvement, and at the same time share a general responsibility for all humanity, our particular duty being to aid those to whom we think we can be most useful."
~ Marie Curie
