“This time it had been magic. And it didn't stop being magic just because you found out how it was done.”
Terry Pratchett, The Wee Free Men

“If you have enough book space, I don't want to talk to you.”
Terry Pratchett

Andrea Dworkin
“Many women, I think, resist feminism because it is an agony to be fully conscious of the brutal misogyny which permeates culture, society, and all personal relationships.”
Andrea Dworkin, Our Blood: Prophecies and Discourses on Sexual Politics

“But many of us seek community solely to escape the fear of being alone. Knowing how to be solitary is central to the art of loving. When we can be alone, we can be with others without using them as a means of escape.”
Bell Hooks, All About Love: New Visions

Gail Honeyman
“Whenever I'd been sad or upset before, the relevant people in my life would simply call my social worker and I'd be moved somewhere else. Raymond hadn't phoned anyone or asked an outside agency to intervene. He'd elected to look after me himself. I'd been pondering this, and concluded that there must be some people for whom difficult behavior wasn't a reason to end their relationship with you. If they liked you -- and, I remembered, Raymond and I had agreed that we were pals now -- then, it seemed, they were prepared to maintain contact, even if you were sad, or upset, or behaving in very challenging ways. This was something of a revelation.”
Gail Honeyman, Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine
