Joyce Carol Oates
“Were you wounded when your marriage collapsed? When your love collapsed? Or does love never “collapse,” only just fade gradually away?”
Joyce Carol Oates, Blonde

Joyce Carol Oates
“All prices of all things—at least, useless beautiful things like rare books—are inherently absurd, rooted in the human imagination and in the all-too-human predilection to desperately want what others value highly, and to scorn what others fail to value.”
Joyce Carol Oates, The Doll-Master: And Other Tales of Terror

Sigmund Freud
“All family life is organized around the most damaged person in it.”
Sigmund Freud

Joyce Carol Oates
“Never can you climb over this wall, you’re not strong enough; girls aren’t strong enough; girls aren’t big enough; your body is fragile and breakable, like a doll; your body is a doll; your body is for others to admire and to pet; your body is to be used by others, not used by you; your body is a luscious fruit for others to bite into and to savor; your body is for others, not for you.”
Joyce Carol Oates, Blonde

Joyce Carol Oates
“Suicide is in fact a consoling thought. Suicide is the secret door by which you can exit the world at any time—it’s wholly up to you. For who can prevent you, if suicide is truly your wish? Who has the moral authority,”
Joyce Carol Oates, A Widow's Story
