“Out of the ash
I rise with my red hair
and I eat men like air.”

“The souls moving along ... are they invisible while the least atom of the stones is visible?”
― Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass: The Original 1855 Edition by: Walt Whitman

“It’s an epidemic with women your age. A gross disparity between the way that they speak and the quality of thoughts that they’re having about the world. They are taught to express themselves in slang, in clichés, sarcasm—all of which is weak language. The superficiality of the language colors the experiences, rendering them disposable instead of assimilated. And then to top it all, you call yourselves ‘girls.’ ”
― Stephanie Danler, Sweetbitter
