Stephen  King
“It makes no difference if you’re rich or poor Or if you’re smart or dumb. A woman’s place in this old world Is under some man’s thumb, And if you’re born a woman You’re born to be hurt. You’re born to be stepped on, Lied to, Cheated on, And treated like dirt. —Sandy Posey, “Born a Woman” Lyrics by Martha Sharp”
Stephen King, Sleeping Beauties

Angie Thomas
“Besties before testes.”
Angie Thomas, The Hate U Give

Angie Thomas
“DeVante’s got a point. What makes his name or our names any less normal than yours? Who or what defines ‘normal’ to you? If my pops were here, he’d say you’ve fallen into the trap of the white standard.”
Angie Thomas, The Hate U Give

Yangsze Choo
“We were a chocolate-box family, I thought. Brightly wrapped on the outside and oozing sticky darkness within.”
Yangsze Choo, The Night Tiger

Brit Bennett
“We were girls once. As hard as that is to believe. //Oh you can't see it now--our bodies have stretched and sagged, faces and necks drooping. That's what happens when you get old. Every part of you drops, as if the body is moving closer to where it's from and where it'll return.”
Brit Bennett, The Mothers
