"The day after reading about how male MPs create a hostile environment for female MPs I saw that Matt Hancock told Rosena Allin-Khan to ‘watch her tone’ when she made a valid criticism of the government. Hmm." May 05, 2020 03:56PM

F. Scott Fitzgerald
“The loneliest moment in someone’s life is when they are watching their whole world fall apart, and all they can do is stare blankly.”
F. Scott Fitzgerald

Gail Honeyman
“These days, loneliness is the new cancer—a shameful, embarrassing thing, brought upon yourself in some obscure way. A fearful, incurable thing, so horrifying that you dare not mention it; other people don’t want to hear the word spoken aloud for fear that they might too be afflicted, or that it might tempt fate into visiting a similar horror upon them.”
Gail Honeyman, Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine

Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
“I ought to be thy Adam, but I am rather the fallen angel...”
Mary Shelley, Frankenstein

Thomas Hardy
“Why is it that a woman can see from a distance what a man cannot see close?”
Thomas Hardy, The Return of the Native

Daphne du Maurier
“I wondered why it was that places are so much lovelier when one is alone. How commonplace and stupid it would be if I had a friend now, sitting beside me, someone I had known at school, who would say: “By-the-way, I saw old Hilda the other day. You remember her, the one who was so good at tennis. She’s married, with two children.” And the bluebells beside us unnoticed, and the pigeons overhead unheard. I did not want anyone with me. Not even Maxim. If Maxim had been there I should not be lying as I was now, chewing a piece of grass, my eyes shut. I should have been watching him, watching his eyes, his expression. Wondering if he liked it, if he was bored. Wondering what he was thinking. Now I could relax, none of these things mattered. Maxim was in London. How lovely it was to be alone again.”
Daphne du Maurier, Rebecca
