“1984 is one of the greatest political novels of the last century, capable of shaking our conscience with its visionary nature. It is both a denunciation of totalitarianism and a strenuous defense of individual integrity. The entire novel focuses on the contradictions of power, the conflict between the individual and society, and the deceptions of utopia. Never before, in the age of the Internet, has it been so surprisingly relevant.”
― George Orwell, 1984

“That's the best revenge of all: happiness. Nothing drives people crazier than seeing someone having a good fucking laugh.”
― Chuck Palahniuk

“you want things to be perfect because you think being perfect shows people that you love them”
― Laurie Gilmore, The Gingerbread Bakery

“Giving birth is not some beautiful sacred rite, as so many men seem to imagine. It is hours of tears and screaming, enduring pain and suffering with death always near, all to force a baby from your body. . . . In a word, it is torture.”
― Uketsu, Strange Pictures
