“The best way out is always through.”

“Amor violeta

O amor me fere é debaixo do braço,
de um vão entre as costelas.
Atinge meu coração é por esta via inclinada.
Eu ponho o amor no pilão com cinza
e grão de roxo e soco. Macero ele,
faço dele cataplasma
e ponho sobre a ferida.”
― Adélia Prado, Bagagem

“Male fantasies, male fantasies, is everything run by male fantasies? Up on a pedestal or down on your knees, it's all a male fantasy: that you're strong enough to take what they dish out, or else too weak to do anything about it. Even pretending you aren't catering to male fantasies is a male fantasy: pretending you're unseen, pretending you have a life of your own, that you can wash your feet and comb your hair unconscious of the ever-present watcher peering through the keyhole, peering through the keyhole in your own head, if nowhere else. You are a woman with a man inside watching a woman. You are your own voyeur.”
― Margaret Atwood, The Robber Bride
