Blues fallin' down like hail And the day keeps on worryin' me There's a hell hound on my trail.

A man will treat a woman almost exactly the way he treats his own interior feminine. In fact, he hasn't the ability to see a woman, objectively speaking, until he has made some kind of peace with his interior woman.
Interpretation
What this quote means
A man's treatment of women reflects his own relationship with his inner femininity.
This quote emphasizes the idea that a man's attitude and behavior towards women are deeply influenced by how he perceives and relates to his own inner feminine qualities. Until he acknowledges and harmonizes this aspect of himself, his understanding of women will remain subjective and incomplete, limiting his ability to connect genuinely with them.

It never occurred to him that now he was looking at his master, at the one person in all the world who held his fate right between her palms - me, in patched hand-me-downs and untrimmed hair and idiot smile - and that my hatred for him is pure and black and unforgiving. And that I don't believe in God, but if I did, if I did, it would be the God of Moses, angry and demanding and OUT FOR REVENGE.
