Rachel Yoder
“How many generations of women had delayed their greatness only to have time extinguish it completely? How many women had run out of time while the men didn’t know what to do with theirs? And what a mean trick to call such things holy or selfless. How evil to praise women for giving up each and every dream.”
Rachel Yoder, Nightbitch

Becky Cooper
“For we live in several worlds, each truer than the one it encloses, and itself false in relation to the one which encompasses it. [...] Truth lies in a progressive dilating of the meaning [...] up to the point at which it explodes.

- Claude Levi-Strauss Tristes Tropiques”
Becky Cooper, We Keep the Dead Close: A Murder at Harvard and a Half Century of Silence

“it was easier to believe she was lying than that lightning loves a scarred tree.”

“Back then, I was blind to the idea that an institution could still be destructive even if its members were good people.”
Becky Cooper, We Keep the Dead Close: A Murder at Harvard and a Half Century of Silence

“My point is, you were a part of the machine: an arm, a leg. You drove the getaway car. You threw bricks through the window and someone else grabbed the jewelry. You distracted the feds while the spies got away. You held her down while someone else beat her. You shot the deer and wounded it. When the second hunter came along, the deer could no longer run.”
Rebecca Makkai, I Have Some Questions for You
