“The right person shouldnt complete you, they should love you the way you are. And it's cool if they make you want to be better, but they should never make you feel like you are too much or not enough exactly as you are.”
― Alexandria Bellefleur, Count Your Lucky Stars

“What I mean to tell you is that I think you're very brave for standing up to your family. It takes incredible courage to grow up to be someone different than who our parents want us to be.”
― CH_Darling (ao3), The Last Enemy: The Howling Nights

“When is a monster not a monster? Oh, when you love it.”

“But I didn’t and still don’t like making a cult of women’s knowledge, preening ourselves on knowing things men don’t know, women’s deep irrational wisdom, women’s instinctive knowledge of Nature, and so on. All that all too often merely reinforces the masculinist idea of women as primitive and inferior – women’s knowledge as elementary, primitive, always down below at the dark roots, while men get to cultivate and own the flowers and crops that come up into the light. But why should women keep talking baby talk while men get to grow up? Why should women feel blindly while men get to think?”
― Ursula K. Le Guin
