“The dead don't bother haunting graveyards- they are the last place on earth they need to haunt. The living do that job for them with their messy combination of grief, desire, imagination. There is nothing in this cemetery. It's just an empty field.”

“An adult man possesses the power to enter your soul. A boy has no power, The power to hurt, maybe, but not the power to enter your soul”
― Joyce Carol Oates, Blonde

“The Widow Russell apparently took her at-home retirement so far as the abstain from receiving guests in the formal parlors: Theo was shown to a pink-papered upstairs room where she sat in an armchair whose chintz upholstery featured roses twining daintily on a white ground.

― Cecilia Grant, A Lady Awakened

“You are indeed a victim of our culture's mercenary exploitation of feminine innocence.”
