Olga Tokarczuk
“Sypiałam swego czasu z pewnym Protestantem, który z kolei wytyczał autostrady, i on mi mówił, podobno cytując Lutra, że ten, kto cierpi, widzi tył Boga. Zastanawiałam się, czy chodzi o plecy, czy może pośladki, jak wygląda ten boski tył, skoro nie potrafimy sobie wyobrazić przodu. Wygląda więc na to, że ten, kto cierpi, ma do Boga dostęp specjalnymi, kuchennymi drzwiami, jest błogosławiony, ogarnia jakąś prawdę, którą bez cierpienia trudno by było pojąć. W pewnym sensie zdrowy jest więc tylko ten, kto cierpi, jakkolwiek to dziwnie brzmi. To pasowałoby do całości, myślę.”
Olga Tokarczuk, Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead

“A family shouldn't fall apart because you're making one choice they don't understand.”
Elle Rivers, As It Was

“My motto is: If I have to suck someone dry every few weeks, why not make it a Goldman Sachs executive?”
Ali Hazelwood, Hot for Slayer

Jessa Crispin
“Men are not our fucking problem. You can't overcompensate for some men's problems with women by insisting on our purity and innocence. The way we deal with other people's inhumanity is to insist on our humanity, not by insisting we are somehow a better, more honest version of human. That requires admitting to the shitty things that some women do, the violence they commit, the lies they tell to get what they want. Our job is not to convince anyone of anything. That is another form of control: telling someone what they want to hear to get them to believe what we want them to believe. Our job is to act like humans.”
Jessa Crispin, Why I Am Not a Feminist: A Feminist Manifesto

“A lot of people think I'm brave because I quit my job and traveled the world alone in search of purpose. And yes, doing this required a lot of courage. But for introverts like me, there are things that care us even more than performing or traveling solo. At the top of the list might be saying "I love you" for the first time, or opening up to someone new. Remember, the bravest acts happen in quiet moments. When you feel afraid to speak up or try something new, but you do it anyway, you are the definition of courage.”
Michaela Chung, The Year of the Introvert: A Journal of Daily Inspiration for the Inwardly Inclined
