Deborah Levy
“Mother was The Woman the whole world had imagined to death. It proved very hard to re-negotiate the world's nostalgic phantasy about our purpose in life...we did not yet entirely understand that Mother, as imagined and politicized by the societal system, was a delusion.”
Deborah Levy, Things I Don't Want to Know

Chelsea G. Summers
“Junk food was rebellion, rebellion was femininity, femininity was junk.”
Chelsea G. Summers, A Certain Hunger

Chelsea G. Summers
“We expect random acts of violence from men. Men are the people who brought us the golden hits of war, genocide, rape, drones, and foot-ball. We do not expect murder, pain, and sadism from women, but we are co-opted idiots. Our unshakeable belief in women's essential goodness is a wondrous, drooling thing... It's as if none of us ever had mothers who ever acted cruelly and we all did. Some more than others.”
Chelsea G. Summers, A Certain Hunger

“What is heaven but the hope for righteous acknowledgment, and what is hell but the fear of discovery”
Chelsea G. Summers, A Certain Hunger

Chelsea G. Summers
“Female psychopaths, researchers eventually realized, don't present like the males. To which I respond: No shit. We women have an emotional wiliness that shellacs us in glossy patina of caring. We have been raised to take interest in promoting healthy interior lives of other humans; preparation, I suppose, for taking on the emotional labor of motherhood - or marriage; either way, really. Few women come into maturity unscathed by the suffocating pink press of girlhood, and even psychopaths are touched by the long, frilly arm of feminine expectations. It's not that women psychopaths don't exist; it's that we fake it better than men.”
Chelsea G. Summers, A Certain Hunger
