Malcolm Gladwell
“Sometimes the best conversations between strangers allow the stranger to remain a stranger.”
Malcolm Gladwell, Talking to Strangers: What We Should Know About the People We Don't Know

Chris Bohjalian
“Even the most successful people in this world make mistakes. Often they’re just better at correcting them and moving on.”
Chris Bohjalian, The Flight Attendant

Anne Helen Petersen
“Their bodies, words, and actions have become a locus for the type of inflammatory rhetoric usually reserved only for political figures.”
Anne Helen Petersen, Too Fat, Too Slutty, Too Loud: The Rise and Reign of the Unruly Woman

Margaret Atwood
“I remember the rules, rules that were never spelled out but every woman knew: Don't open your door to a stranger, even if he says he is the police. Make him slide his ID under the door. Don't stop on the road to help a motorist pretending to be in trouble. Keep the locks on and keep going. If anyone whistles, don't turn to look. Don't go into a laundromat, by yourself, at night.

I think about laundromats. What I wore to them: shorts, jeans, jogging pants. What I put into them: my own clothes, my own soap, my own money, money I had earned myself. I think about having such control.

Now we walk along the same street, in red pairs, and no man shouts obscenities at us, speaks to us, touches us. No one whistles.

There is more than one kind of freedom, said Aunt Lydia. Freedom to and freedom from.”
Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid's Tale

Anne Helen Petersen
“It’s no wonder we have such mixed feelings about these women: they’re constant reminders of the chasm between what we think we believe and how we actually behave.”
Anne Helen Petersen, Too Fat, Too Slutty, Too Loud: The Rise and Reign of the Unruly Woman
