A sentence I’m proud of? Don’t you mean All Of Them? Oh man, well I don’t know off the top of my head a sentence that I really liked BUT you can have this scene from Laero because I love it (pardon Retta’s accent):

“You cannot humiliate
my men in this way,” Bozier said. Retta stood in front of him, arms crossed,
unrepentant.             

“He insulted me first,” she said. “I’m here doing you the
favor and you let your people treat me like this thing?”            

“You are a woman-”            

“I’m warrior, just like you! I demand equal amount of
respect!” Retta snapped right back at him, eyes flashing. “And if you no give it to me then I’ll take it by force.”            

“You are a prisoner here, and you’ll do as I tell you
to!” Bozier roared.          

“There’s no single one of your warriors that could keep
me or Geri here against our will and you damn well know this thing! I’m no some
doe-eyed little housewife you can intimidate with your bulk and your loud voice
and this blade is no just for show. It’ll work just as well on you as it will
on your men.”          

“You’re threatening me?!”
He slammed his hand down on the table so hard that a ceramic mug bounced off
and shattered on the wooden floor of his cabin. He stood, drawing himself to
his considerable height. Even the most hardened of his men would have quailed
under the rage in his eyes but Retta leaned in farther.            

“Dje,” she said,
and her voice was as cold as the ice fields Bozier had left behind. “The next
man who dares to insult me will lose tongue. And the next man to touch me will lose hand. You will make this clear to your men, or
you’re going to have many less warriors ready to do your bidding. I am no one
of your dog, who will come and lick your boots after you kick me. I am no one
of your wife, who will make you dinner after you insult me. And I am no one of
your maiden, who will accept the unwelcome advances of the warrior out of fear.
I am Marzjen, and I fight back.”
