― Sally Rooney, Intermezzo

“You have to hand it to men, they’ve managed to convince us that the things that make women powerful are weaknesses.”
― J. Courtney Sullivan, The Cliffs

“Most of the work of her life was invisible...tasks no one took any notice of if you did them properly. Only if you didn't.”
― J. Courtney Sullivan, The Cliffs
