Witches were not all killed by fire. We are the fire.”

“You are not your virginity. You are a human being. The state of your hymen has nothing to do with your worth. Okay? They’re fucking with us. They’ve been fucking with us since the beginning of time.”
― A.S. King, Glory O'Brien's History of the Future

“Wallpaper. Decoration. Her whole life and person, whittled down to nothing. “I don't accept that,” Etta said. I'm neither of those things. And, for the record, neither are you.”
― Alexandra Bracken, Passenger

“You have a house if not a home," she spat. "You have people who care for you if not about you. You may not have everything you want, but I'd wager you have everything you could ever need, and you have the audacity to claim it all forfeit because it is not love."
"I--"
"Love doesn't keep us from freezing to death, Kell," she continued, "or starving, or being knifed for the coins in our pocket. Love doesn't buy us anything, so be glad for what you have and who you have because you may want for things but you need nothing.”
― Victoria Schwab, A Darker Shade of Magic

“It’s a sad indictment of society…” Layla pants as they sprint for the stop, “that your boobs will probably get you further in life than my brains and talent.”
― Lauren Beukes, Broken Monsters

“Social media is a curious thing. On the one hand, it offers an endless parade of ephemera from the daily lives of friends, family, and strangers—discussions of a fondness for yogurt, a picture of a barista’s decoration in latte foam, descriptions of excellent meals, pictures of pets and small children or maybe an abandoned easy chair on a crowded street corner. There’s all manner of self-promotion and relentless affirmation. There are knee-jerk, ill-informed reactions to, well, everything. The abundance of triviality is as hypnotic as it is repulsive.”
― Roxane Gay, Bad Feminist: Essays
