Caitlin Moran
“Self-harm - the world will come at you with knives anyway. You do not need to beat them to it.”
Caitlin Moran, How to Build a Girl

Kathleen Glasgow
“...when I look at my arms, I don't think revolutionary. I think sad, and pain, but not revolutionary.”
Kathleen Glasgow, Girl in Pieces

Bessel van der Kolk
“When you have a persistent sense of heartbreak and gutwrench, the physical sensations become intolerable and we will do anything to make those feelings disappear. And that is really the origin of what happens in human pathology. People take drugs to make it disappear, and they cut themselves to make it disappear, and they starve themselves to make it disappear, and they have sex with anyone who comes along to make it disappear and once you have these horrible sensations in your body, you’ll do anything to make it go away.”
Bessel A. van der Kolk

Kathleen Glasgow
“... it's remembering what it's like to cut, and cut hard. The way you have to dig the glass in, deeply, right away, to break the skin and then drag, and drag fiercely, to make a river worth drowning in.”
Kathleen Glasgow, Girl in Pieces

“The blade sings to me. Faintly, so soft against my ears, its voice calms my worries and tells me that one touch will take it all away. It tells me that I just need to slide a long horizontal cut, and make a clean slice. It tells me the words that I have been begging to hear: this will make it ok.”
Amanda Steele, The Cliff
