“W krainie pustki najszczęśliwiej miała się nędza. Bywało tak, że dzieci przychodziły na świat zbyt wątłe, by unieść ciężar życia, i nim zdążyły zaczerpnąć oddechu, zabierała je śmierć. Nigdzie nie umierało się tak łatwo jak tam.”
― Małgorzata Rejmer, Bukareszt. Kurz i krew

“There is no such thing as a woman who doesn’t work. There is only a woman who isn’t paid for her work.”

“Academics were not intellectuals; they were not curious, they built their stolid tents of specialized knowledge and stayed securely in them.”

“I realized that if I ever have children, I don't want them to have American childhoods. I don't want them to say 'Hi' to adults I want them to say 'Good morning' and 'Good afternoon'. I don't want them to mumble 'Good' when someone says 'How are you?' to them. Or to raise five fingers when asked how old they are. I want them to say 'I'm fine thank you' and 'I'm five years old'. I don't want a child who feeds on praise and expects a star for effort and talks back to adults in the name of self-expression. Is that terribly conservative?”
