A woman would give up everything, except her self.

"I would give up the unessential; I would give up my money, I would give up my life for my children; but I wouldn't give myself. I can't make it more clear; it's only something I am beginning to comprehend, which is revealing itself to me." ― Kate Chopin, The Awakening
