“Beauty isn't actually what you look like; beauty is the preferences that reproduce the existing social order.”
Tressie McMillan Cottom, Thick: And Other Essays

Tressie McMillan Cottom
“Beauty is not good capital. I compounds the oppression of gender. It constrains those who identify as women against their will. It costs money and demands money. It colonizes. It hurts. It is painful. It can never be fully satisfied. It is not useful for human flourishing. Beauty is, like all capital, merely valuable.”
Tressie McMillan Cottom, Thick: And Other Essays

Sally Rooney
“Gradually the waiting began to feel less like waiting and more like this was simply what life was: the distracting tasks undertaken while the thing you are waiting for continues not to happen.”
Sally Rooney, Conversations with Friends
