“The most loving parents and relatives commit murder with smiles on their faces. They force us to destroy the person we really are: a subtle kind of murder.”
― My Sister, the Serial Killer

“I had hit upon a truth of womanhood: however blameless a life we led, the passions and the greed of men could bring us to ruin, and there was nothing we could do.”
― Ariadne
― Ariadne
“I was born into the apocalypse.
It's probably unhelpful to throw around a word like "apocalypse," and to be honest I couldn't tell you whether it's even apt.
It looks like an apocalypse from here. Or from now. From a distance, it looks like the world ended. Maybe it did.
But—and I suspect that this isn't something people like to admit; I've seen a lot of people who lived through that time not admitting this—it didn't feel like an apocalypse.
It just felt like life.”
― You Feel It Just Below the Ribs

“I would not let a man who knew the value of nothing make me doubt the value of myself.”

“Why do we romanticize the dead? Why can't we be honest about them? Especially moms. They're the most romanticized of anyone.
Moms are saints, angels by merely existing. NO ONE could possibly understand what it's like to be a mom. Men will never understand. Women with no children will never understand. No one buts moms know the hardship of motherhood, and we non-moms must heap nothing but praise upon moms because we lowly, pitiful non-moms are mere peasants compared to the goddesses we call mothers.”
― I'm Glad My Mom Died
