“And the system I’ve dedicated my life to is called upon, by me, to find the truth. To provide justice.”
Suzie Miller, Prima Facie

Audre Lorde
“Well, women with breast cancer are warriors, also. I have been to war, and still am. So has every woman who had had one or both breasts amputated because of the cancer that is becoming the primary physical scourge of our time. For me, my scars are an honorable reminder that I may be a casualty in the cosmic war against radiation, animal fat, air pollution, McDonald’s hamburgers and Red Dye No. 2, but the fight is still going on, and I am still a part of it. I refuse to have my scars hidden or trivialized behind lambswool or silicone gel. I refuse to be reduced in my own eyes or in the eyes of others from warrior to mere victim, simply because it might render me a fraction more acceptable or less dangerous to the still complacent, those who believe if you cover up a problem it ceases to exist. I refuse to hide my body simply because it might make a woman-phobic world more comfortable.”
Audre Lorde, The Cancer Journals

“It was safer for certain people to think she'd had it coming to her; it made it easier to believe it wouldn't come for them.”
Sarah Perry, After the Eclipse: A Mother's Murder, a Daughter's Search

Dolly Alderton
“I thought of the blissful mundanity of life; of what a privilege it was to live it.”
Dolly Alderton, Everything I Know About Love

Coco Mellors
“Cleo and Frank could not make each other happy, no matter how hard they’d tried.”
Coco Mellors, Cleopatra and Frankenstein
