Sophie Mackintosh
“Trauma is a toxin that hooks into our hair and organs and blood and becomes part of us, the way heavy metals do, our bodies nothing more than a layering of flesh around everything ingested and experienced.”
Sophie Mackintosh, The Water Cure

Tove Ditlevsen
“Meanwhile I am only twenty years old, and the days descend on me un-noticeably like dust, each one just like the rest.”
Tove Ditlevsen, The Copenhagen Trilogy

Sophie Mackintosh
“I invite the confessionals of men. I am not a stranger to them. Absorbing the guilt and the sorrow is something the world expects of women.”
Sophie Mackintosh, The Water Cure

Rachel Cusk
“Vanity', he said, 'is the curse of our culture; or perhaps it is simply my own persistent refusal', he said, 'to believe that artists are also human beings.”
Rachel Cusk, Outline

Elena Ferrante
“I understood that I had arrived there full of pride and realized that—in good faith, certainly, with affection—I had made that whole journey mainly to show her what she had lost and what I had won. But she had known from the moment I appeared, and now, risking tensions with her workmates, and fines, she was explaining to me that I had won nothing, that in the world there is nothing to win, that her life was full of varied and foolish adventures as much as mine, and that time simply slipped away without any meaning, and it was good just to see each other every so often to hear the mad sound of the brain of one echo in the mad sound of the brain of the other.”
Elena Ferrante, The Story of a New Name
