“You cannot easily fit women into a structure that is already coded as male; you have to change the structure.”
― Mary Beard, Women & Power: A Manifesto

“I would like to pause the story a moment to talk about ‘nothing will change’. I’ve heard it said to me repeatedly by women I love during my twenties when they move in with boyfriends, get engaged, move abroad, get married, get pregnant. ‘Nothing will change.’ It drives me bananas. Everything will change. Everything will change. The love we have for each other stays the same, but the format, the tone, the regularity and the intimacy of our friendship will change for ever.”
― Dolly Alderton, Everything I Know About Love

“Zatvára oči, len jedna červená sukňa a obyčajná fošňa ju unáša ako sane, ako koč, nekonečným kopcom letela, má v každej ruke diamant, dýcha si do dlaní a potom prstom do mokrého snehu píše: radujem sa zo života! Neustále sa stráca, čo napísala, vždy po tom niekto prejde sánkami, takže znova: kým dýcha, má diamanty v oboch skrehnutých mokrých dlaniach, a je aj toto: radujem sa!”
