“We women have historically been trained to be pleasant at all times. We need to stop that and be authentic; justifiable anger is a part of that.

It’s more than okay for women and girls to have emotion that is their own and not connected to what a man does or society says.”

“After dinner or lunch or whatever it was -- with my crazy 12-hour night I was no longer sure what was what -- I said, "Look, baby, I'm sorry, but don't you realize that this job is driving me crazy? Look, let's give it up. Let's just lay around and make love and take walks and talk a little. Let's go to the zoo. Let's look at animals. Let's drive down and look at the ocean. It's only 45 minutes.

― Charles Bukowski, Post Office
