Madeline Miller
“But in a solitary life, there are rare moments when another soul dips near yours, as stars once a year brush the earth. Such a constellation was he to me.”
Madeline Miller, Circe

Gertrude Stein
“There ain't no answer.
There ain't gonna be any answer.
There never has been an answer.
There's your answer.”
Gertrude Stein

Madeline Miller
“I thought: I cannot bear this world a moment longer. Then, child, make another.”
Madeline Miller, Circe

“He showed me his scars, and in return he let me pretend that I had none.”
Madeline Miller, Circe

Margaret Atwood
“Male fantasies, male fantasies, is everything run by male fantasies? Up on a pedestal or down on your knees, it's all a male fantasy: that you're strong enough to take what they dish out, or else too weak to do anything about it. Even pretending you aren't catering to male fantasies is a male fantasy: pretending you're unseen, pretending you have a life of your own, that you can wash your feet and comb your hair unconscious of the ever-present watcher peering through the keyhole, peering through the keyhole in your own head, if nowhere else. You are a woman with a man inside watching a woman. You are your own voyeur.”
Margaret Atwood, The Robber Bride
