“If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.”
― Mark Twain

“Male fantasies, male fantasies, is everything run by male fantasies? Up on a pedestal or down on your knees, it's all a male fantasy: that you're strong enough to take what they dish out, or else too weak to do anything about it. Even pretending you aren't catering to male fantasies is a male fantasy: pretending you're unseen, pretending you have a life of your own, that you can wash your feet and comb your hair unconscious of the ever-present watcher peering through the keyhole, peering through the keyhole in your own head, if nowhere else. You are a woman with a man inside watching a woman. You are your own voyeur.”
― Margaret Atwood, The Robber Bride

“You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me.”
― C.S. Lewis

“Do reasons matter when there's nothing that can be done to change things.”
― Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Angel
