“I feel so frightened of being hurt - not of the suffering, which I know I can handle, but the indignity of being open to it.”
― Sally Rooney , Beautiful World, Where Are You

“For a woman ... to explore and express the fullness of her sexuality, her ambitions, her emotional and intellectual capacities, her social duties, her tender virtues, would entail who knows what risks and who knows what truly revolutionary alteration to the social conditions that demean and constrain her. Or she may go on trying to fit herself into the order of the world and thereby consign herself forever to the bondage of some stereotype of normal femininity - a perversion, if you will.”
― Louise J. Kaplan
