“Women are born with pain built in. It’s our physical destiny. Period pains, sore boobs, child birth, you know. We carry it within ourselves throughout our lives. Men don’t. They have to seek it out. They invent all sorts of gods and demons and things so they can feel guilty about things, which is something we do very well on our own. Then they create wars so they can feel things and touch each other, and when there aren’t any wars they play rugby. We already have it all going on in here, inside.”
― Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Fleabag: The Scriptures

“My mind is strong, but my body will not last forever.
