Elif Batuman
“I was overcome by a sense of how much more there was in his life than in mine, by the things to do and distances to travel, while I never had done anything or gone anywhere, and never would.”
Elif Batuman, The Idiot

“Women are never just women, they're the men they prop up and save.”
Annie Lord, Notes on Heartbreak

Anne Carson
“A stranger is someone who sits very still at the kitchen table, looks down at his knuckles, thinks some day we will laugh about this, doesn't believe it.”
Anne Carson, Glass, Irony and God

Anne Carson
“Girls are cruellest to themselves.”
Anne Carson, The Glass Essay

Jenny Slate
“I am tired of sinking down to a lower place to be with men. I am tired of throwing a tarp over some of my personality so that the shape of my identity suits some gross man a little better, for whatever shitty things he needs to do in order to keep his boring identity erect and supreme. I have many grievances and no place to set them down, and I am cranky from having to shoulder this burden of reactions, like I am a fucking Ox that should carry your unsellable wares. I am tired of buying my own flowers. I am tired of having to hold my breath through Valentine's Day the way you do when you drive past a graveyard. I want a valentine from a normal person who is horny. I want a prize for how well I can love. I want to be a prize for love.”
Jenny Slate, Little Weirds
