“Men are like: " Well, I can't get turned on by my wife after she had kids." I'm like: " Well, if you've been whacking off and training your brain that giant-breasted women (with) perfect bodies who are eighteen are the only thing that you've conditioned yourself to be sexually attracted to... well, yeah, you did this to yourself." So don't tell your wife to go to the gym! You need to get reprogrammed. Not her.”

“Things usually work out in the end."
"What if they don't?"
"That just means you haven't come to the end yet.”
― Jeannette Walls, The Glass Castle

“I know,” she says.
“Because if it isn’t a love story, then what is it”? I look to her glassy eyes, her face of wide open empathy. “It’s my life,” I say. “This has been my whole life.”
― Kate Elizabeth Russell, My Dark Vanessa

“We expect women to endure virtual-reality abuse so that violent men can enact violent fantasies in an obscene playground.”
