“She's a virus. Her entire family is. They've infected the country with a special brand of intolerance that masquerades as religion.”
Meghan MacLean Weir, The Book of Essie

Meg Mason
“It is hard to look into someone's eyes. Even when you love them, it is difficult to sustain it, for the sense of being seen through.”
Meg Mason, Sorrow and Bliss

“Girls love to be unlike other girls, because of the lies we are told about what other girls are like.”
Emily Temple, The Lightness

Emily  Temple
“Here is what I have come to believe: in the end, religion has done more harm than good. For one thing, there’s war, ethnic cleansing, genital mutilation, abused altar boys, the systematic oppression of women—the foundational text of Christianity locates women as the source of all evil, do not forget this when interacting with the faithful—as well as anyone who doesn’t fit into its narrow moral straitjacket. Hierarchy breeds corruption. Patriarchy cultivates debasement. Believing in something—anything—so blindly is corrosive. You follow a recipe instead of inventing your own world. There are certain corners you can’t see into. My mother used to say that raising your son or daughter to believe in God is child abuse. I have repeated this often, to shocked looks, even from my secular friends. I’m sorry: I believe it. Religious belief may be a pleasant distortion, a comfort, for a while, but too much, unexamined, for too long and it eats away at your body, turns you stupid, kills you. Serena was right: the effect is not dissimilar to alcohol.”
Emily Temple, The Lightness

“It felt like the world had divided into two different types of people, those who had felt pain and those who had yet to.”
Michelle Zauner, Crying in H Mart
