“A house is never apolitical. It is conceived, constructed, occupied, and policed by people with power, needs, and fears.”
Carmen Maria Machado, In the Dream House

“A reminder to remember: just because the sharpness of the sadness has faded does not mean that it was not, once, terrible. It means only that time and space, creatures of infinite girth and tenderness, have stepped between the two of you, and they are keeping you safe as they were once unable to.”
Carmen Maria Machado, In the Dream House

Carmen Maria Machado
“Why do we teach girls their perspectives are inherently untrustworthy?" I would yell. I want to reclaim these word. After all, melodrama comes from melos, which means music, honey. A drama queen is nonetheless a queen.”
Carmen Maria Machado, In the Dream House

“Pylades: I’ll take care of you.
Orestes: It’s rotten work.
Pylades: Not to me. Not if it’s you.”
Anne Carson, Euripides

Carmen Maria Machado
“We deserve to have our wrongdoing represented as much as our heroism, because when we refuse wrongdoing as a possibility for a group of people, we refuse their humanity.”
Carmen Maria Machado, In the Dream House
