Dorothy Parker
“Don't look at me in that tone of voice.”
Dorothy Parker

William Steig
“People are no damn good.”
William Steig, The Lonely Ones

Stella Gibbons
“. . . And she said it was a pity, because my father was so “keen”, and what did I care about?

So I said, well, I was not quite sure, but on the whole I thought I liked having everything very tidy and calm all around me, and not being bothered to do things, and laughing at the kind of joke other people didn’t think at all funny, and going for country walks, and not being asked to express opinions about things (like love, and isn’t so-and-so peculiar?). So then she said, oh, well, didn’t I think I could try to be a little less slack, because of Father, and I said no, I was I afraid I couldn’t; and after that she left me alone. But all the others still said I was no good.”
Stella Gibbons

“Strangers take a long time to become acquainted, particularly when they are from the same family.”
M.E. Kerr, Am I Blue?: Coming Out from the Silence

Tavi Gevinson
“Then, people expect women to be that easy to understand, and women are mad at themselves for not being that simple- When in actuality, women ARE complicated. Women are multifaceted. Not because women are crazy . But because people are crazy, and women happen to be people.”
Tavi Gevinson
