Topics Mentioning This Author

“She looked at nice young men as if she could smell their stupidity.”
Flannery O'Connor

“You've been criticising yourself for years and it hasn't worked. Try approving of yourself and see what happens.”
Louise Hay

“Here, I think we have some old bedsheets - dye them black with the ashes of your self-respect and sew them together.”
Therese Oneill, Unmentionable: The Victorian Lady's Guide to Sex, Marriage, and Manners

“You have to be an artist and a madman, a creature of infinite melancholy, with a bubble of hot poison in your loins and a super-voluptuous flame permanently aglow in your subtle spine (oh, how you have to cringe and hide!), in order to discern at once, by ineffable signs―the slightly feline outline of a cheekbone, the slenderness of a downy limbs, and other indices which despair and shame and tears of tenderness forbid me to tabulate―the little deadly demon among the wholesome children; she stands unrecognized by them and unconscious herself of her fantastic power.”
Vladimir Nabokov, Lolita

“You serve many purposes as a wife, but the most important is incubating and extruding his biological legacy from your body.”
Therese Oneill, Unmentionable: The Victorian Lady's Guide to Sex, Marriage, and Manners
