"WHY oh WHY would you go with a British translator for the second book when the first one was in American English? All my beloved characters are saying shit like "hogwash" and speaking in single-quotes!" Jul 09, 2026 07:18PM

Micah Nemerever
“He endured it to punish himself, and to prove to himself that he could; those were the only two reasons he ever chose to do anything worthwhile.”
Micah Nemerever, These Violent Delights

Micah Nemerever
“There’s this idea in psychoanalysis that I’ve always liked.” Julian pulled himself closer and rested his head in the crook of Paul’s arm. “It’s that what we call ‘love’ is actually letting your identity fill in around the shape of the other person—you love someone by defining yourself against them. It says loss hurts because there’s nothing holding that part of you in place anymore. But your outline still holds, and it keeps holding. The thing you shaped yourself into by loving them, you never stop being that. The marks are permanent, so the idea of the person you loved is permanent, too.”
Micah Nemerever, These Violent Delights

Jenny Odell
“Diogenes thought every “sane” person in the world was actually insane for heeding any of the customs upholding a world full of greed, corruption, and ignorance.”
Jenny Odell, How to Do Nothing: Resisting the Attention Economy

Elle Kennedy
“He’s drop dead gorgeous and more popular than Justin Bieber. Well, at least before Beebs went off the rails.”
Elle Kennedy, The Deal

Andrea Dworkin
“There is a misery of the body and a misery of the mind, and if the stars, whenever we looked at them, poured nectar into our mouths, and the grass became bread, we would still be sad. We live in a system that manufactures sorrow, spilling it out of its mill, the waters of sorrow, ocean, storm, and we drown down, dead, too soon.”
Andrea Dworkin, Woman Hating
