Just thought I'd share
Jul. 10th, 2009 01:10 amI was thinking tonight about one of my favorite episodes of The X-Files, "Milagro". Someone just did a lovely picspam of it and it included this quote from the episode:
She was a marshal of cold facts, quick to organize, connect, shuffle, reorder and synthesize the relative hard values into discrete categories. Imprecision would only invite sexist criticism that she was soft, malleable, not up to her male counterparts. Even now, as she pushed an arrant strand of Titian hair behind her ear, she worried her partner would know instinctively what she could only guess. To be thought of as a simply beautiful woman was bridling, unthinkable. But she was beautiful. Fatally, stunningly prepossessing. Yet the respect she commanded only deepened the yearnings of her heart, to let it open, to let someone in.
It's about Scully, but just think about it relation to Attolia. It fits her well.
