Dignity Quote by Josiah Bancroft
““I haven’t met many men who wouldn’t take advantage of a woman they shared a cage with.” Senlin waved the point away, as if it were underserving of consideration. “I hope it hasn’t come to that. We shouldn’t have to go around congratulating each other for behaving with basic human dignity.””
