“La vérité meurt jeune. Ce que la vieillesse a "appris" est en réalité tout ce qu'elle a oublié, la haute sérénité des vieillards à barbe blanche et au regard indulgent me semble aussi peu convaincante que la douceur des chats émasculés et, alors que l'âge commence à peser sur moi de ses rides et de ses épuisements , je ne triche pas avec moi-même et je sais que, pour l'essentiel, j'ai été et ne serai plus jamais.”

“Everyone thought it was hilarious. Look how crazy she is! Even my parents acted embarrassed by me. But nobody seemed to understand that I was simply out of my mind with grief. My children had been taken away from me. With my head shaved, everyone was scared of me, even my mom. No one would talk to me anymore because I was I was too ugly. My long hair was a big part of what people liked – I knew that. I knew a lot of guys thought long hair was hot… shaving my head was a way of saying to the world: Fuck you. You want me to be pretty for you? Fuck you. You want me to be good for you? Fuck you. You want me to be your dream girl? Fuck you.”
― Britney Spears, The Woman in Me
