“Great literature should make us squirm, question, debate, complain, and celebrate—its ability to evoke thoughtful or emotional responses is what makes it great. Like fire, it can illuminate, burn, and even pave the way for new growth.”

I think that's why so many books leave me flat - they don't challenge me or make me think. A lot of books are simply pleasant words - like 500 page greeting cards.
I came across these lately and thought of you:
"A woman's guess is much more accurate than a man's certainty."
R. Kipling
"A woman moved is like a fountain troubled,
Muddy, ill-seeming, thick, bereft of beauty,
And while it is so, none so dry or thirsty
Will deign to sip or touch one drop of it."
W. Shakespeare
