“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

“There is no end
To what a living world
Will demand of you.”
― Octavia E. Butler, Parable of the Sower

“Boy, you really break things down, don't you?'

Some say it is an illness.'

We should all be so ill.”
― Francisco X. Stork, Marcelo in the Real World

“In the end, we'll all become stories.”
― Margaret Atwood, Moral Disorder and Other Stories
