The First Bad Man Quotes

“Was I like honey thinking it's a small bear, not realizing the bear is just the shape of its bottle? -Cheryl”
― Miranda July, The First Bad Man

“...I began to understand that the sleeplessness and vigilance and constant feedings were a form of brainwashing, a process by which my old self was being molded, slowly, but with a steady force, into a new shape: a mother. It hurt. I tried to be conscious while it happened, like watching my own surgery. I hoped to retain a tiny corner of the old me, just enough to warn other women with. But I knew this was unlikely; when the process was complete I wouldn't have anything left to complain with, it wouldn't hurt anymore, I wouldn't remember.”
― Miranda July
