More In Strength "Our very strength as lesbians lies in the fact that we are outside of patriarchy; our existence challenges its life."― Charlotte Bunch "What is exciting is not for one person to be stronger than the other… but for two people to have met their match and yet they are equally as stubborn, as obstinate, as passionate, as crazy as the other."― Barbra Streisand "There is nothing respecting which a man may be so long unconscious as of the extent and strength of his prejudices."― Francis Jeffrey
