Quotes by Murasaki Yamada (?)

“Men live in a dream. They always want to be treated like children. When they're strong, we indulge them in this fantasy simply because they're men.

Women, on the other hand, have reality shoved into their faces. Useless dreams are not luxuries they can entertain for long. No matter how much they may hate the real world, they do not have the luxury of acting like children.”
― Murasaki Yamada, Talk to My Back
