Bonnie Burstow
“Often father and daughter look down on mother (woman) together. They exchange meaningful glances when she misses a point. They agree that she is not bright as they are, cannot reason as they do. This collusion does not save the daughter from the mother’s fate.”
Bonnie Burstow, Radical Feminist Therapy: Working in the Context of Violence

Krista Ritchie
“I’m going to love Lily how I want to love her. Overwhelmingly, uncompromisingly. Look away if you have to.”
Krista Ritchie, Thrive

Yuval Noah Harari
“Voltaire said about God that ‘there is no God, but don’t tell that to my servant, lest he murder me at night’. Hammurabi would have said the same about his principle of hierarchy, and Thomas Jefferson about human rights. Homo sapiens has no natural rights, just as spiders, hyenas and chimpanzees have no natural rights. But don’t tell that to our servants, lest they murder us at night.”
Yuval Noah Harari, Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind

Daphne du Maurier
“I am no traveller, you are my world.”
Daphne du Maurier, My Cousin Rachel

B.G. Harlen
“Most people don’t understand what humor is. They think it’s something lighthearted and cheerful. Like ‘good humor.’ But it isn’t. It’s looking into the darkness and spitting at it with a joke. Humor is dark. Humor is that we’re all going to die.”
B.G. Harlen, Break Her
