Giovanni Boccaccio
“Nothing is so indecent that it cannot be said to another person if the proper words are used to convey it.”
Giovanni Boccaccio, The Decameron

C.J. Leede
“I have never understood, and still do not understand the notion that a woman must first endure a victimhood of some sort—abandonment, abuse, oppression of the patriarchy—to be monstrous. Men have always been permitted in fiction and in life to simply be what they are, no matter how dark or terrifying that might be. But with a woman, we expect an answer, a reason.

Victoria Schwab
“Plenty of humans were monstrous, and plenty of monsters knew how to play at being human.”
Victoria Schwab, Vicious

“I was forced to acknowledge too late, much too late, that I too had loved, that I was capable of suffering, and that I was human after all.”
Jacqueline Harpman, I Who Have Never Known Men

Eric LaRocca
“The worst thing a person can do to you after they've hurt you is let you live.”
Eric LaRocca, This Skin Was Once Mine and Other Disturbances
