Roxane Gay
“The bigger you are, the smaller your world becomes.”
Roxane Gay, Hunger: A Memoir of (My) Body

John Steinbeck
“Ellen, only last night, asked, 'Daddy, when will we be rich?' But I did not say to her what I know:'We will be rich soon, and you who handle poverty badly will handle riches equally badly.' And that is true. In poverty she is envious. In riches she may be a snob. Money does not change the sickness, only the symptoms.”
John Steinbeck, The Winter of Our Discontent

Roxane Gay
“I don’t want them, or anyone, to think I am nothing more than the worst thing that has ever happened to me.”
Roxane Gay, Hunger: A Memoir of (My) Body

Roxane Gay
“We don’t necessarily know how to hear stories about any kind of violence, because it is hard to accept that violence is as simple as it is complicated, that you can love someone who hurts you, that you can stay with someone who hurts you, that you can be hurt by someone who loves you, that you can be hurt by a complete stranger, that you can be hurt in so many terrible, intimate ways.”
Roxane Gay, Hunger: A Memoir of (My) Body

Roxane Gay
“When I am walking down the street, men lean out of their car windows and shout vulgar things at me about my body, how they see it, and how it upsets them that I am not catering to their gaze and their preferences and desires. I try not to take these men seriously because what they are really saying is, “I am not attracted to you. I do not want to fuck you, and this confuses my understanding of my masculinity, entitlement, and place in this world.” It is not my job to please them with my body.”
