“I would like so much to be the freest of free women: so free that I would even be liberated from the painful sensation of being liberated. I would like to be so freely free that I would never even think to say to myself: "How free I am!”
― Hélène Cixous, The Book of Promethea

“If only your ears were not so formless, so clogged with meaning(s), that they are closed to what does not in some way echo the already heard" (p. 113, The Sex Which is Not One)”

“I zaista, takve bolesti neprilagođenosti na fizičku i društvenu sredinu kao što su anoreksija i agorafobija pogađale su i pogađaju nesrazmerno veliki broj žena. Oboleli od anoreksije – gubitka apetita, samonametnutog gladovanja – prvenstveno su mlade devojke. Od agorafobije – straha od otvorenog ili “javnog” prostora – obično oboljevaju osobe ženskog pola, najčešće sredovečne domaćice, kao što je slučaj i sa oboljevanjem od obogaljujućeg reumatoidnog artritisa.”
― Susan Gubar, The Madwoman in the Attic: The Woman Writer and the Nineteenth-century Literacy Imagination

“Kada sam počela da uživam u svojoj spisateljskoj moći, sanjala sam kako je moja majka dala da me sterilišu! (Čak i u snovima mi krivimo naše majke za kaznene izbore koje nam naša kultura nameće). Krenula sam za majčinskom figurom u svom snu, vitlajući velikim nožem; na njegovoj oštrici je nešto bilo napisano. Povikala sam: Znaš li šta činiš? Uništavaš moju ženskost, moju žensku moć, koja mi je važna zbog tebe!”
― Anne Sexton, Letters of Note: Mothers

“While a puzzle can be solved with just one or two missing pieces, pain is much more complicated, and talking about pain, especially chronic pain, as if it has an easy answer can be irresponsibly deceptive. Morris suggests that by understanding pain as a mystery, we can respect its complexity and recognize the alienating experience of living in pain. “Mysteries,” he writes, “introduce us to unusual states of being… mysteries disturb the world we take for granted.”
― Amy Berkowitz, Tender Points
