Toni Morrison
“When I got outside, I felt pains in my crotch, I had held my legs together so tight trying to make that woman understand. But I reckon now she couldn't understand. She married a man with a slash in his face instead of a mouth. So how could she understand?”
Toni Morrison, The Bluest Eye

Sylvia Plath
“Thirty years now I have laboured to dredge the slit from your throat. I am none the wiser.”
Sylvia Plath, The Colossus

“I am a theatre kid. That means I'm desperate to be the best, desperate to please, desperate to never let anybody down. There is no room for failure, because failure equals weakness, which equals death.”
Rachel Bloom, I Want to Be Where the Normal People Are

Torrey Peters, Detransition, Baby

Torrey Peters, Detransition, Baby
