Cristi’s Quotes

“We would not be born out of sweetness, we were born out of rage, we felt it in our bones.”
― Dizz Tate, Brutes

“The takeaway of these stories seemed to be that our legacy was one of humiliation and suffering. Life treated those who came before me with relentless indignity, and I had a moral obligation to live better than them. Living better than them did not mean making my own choices. It meant honoring the choices my ancestors would have wanted for me.”
― Ruth Madievsky, All-Night Pharmacy: A Novel

“Tragedy had a texture. A knot, begging to be unraveled.”
― Danya Kukafka, Notes on an Execution

“Every happiness held its own ruin inside it, like a glass we were about to smash.”
― Dizz Tate, Brutes

“I thought back to a soliloquy I’d seen on TV about pain as women’s birthright. It’s not hard to catalog the dazzling torment life puts us through: childbirth and menstrual cramps and the suffocating heat of menopause. We do our best to avoid it, but men run toward it: war and wrestling and football that cracks their skulls, bruises the fragile gray matter underneath. Their bravado is just them manufacturing their own pain, trying to seem strong.”
― Andrea Bartz, We Were Never Here
