See also: *I absolve myself of responsibility.*
And: *I never said that. You can't take the actions of my body as words.*”
― Sophie Mackintosh, The Water Cure

“The message is *This is no place.* The message is *Fuck you.* We hope they will see him and tell others of the dangerous women who discovered a way to save themselves.”
― Sophie Mackintosh, The Water Cure

“Suddenly I am a child again and nobody wants to go near me, nobody can cope with how badly I want to be held, or touched, or listened to, and there is nothing I can ever do about it.”

“Stupid to meet a stranger but I was still convinced by the intrinstic goodness of people, I was so innocent, and I had not been exposed to the world very much. I didn't understand how rapidy things had changed, how all that had been needed was permission for everything to go to shit, and that persmission had been granted. I didnt know that there was no longer any need for the men to hold their bodies in check or to carry on the lie that we mattered.”
