“The difference
between being loved and being fucked
is I can’t remember how the first feels.
I come to bed quiet, kiss with my eyes closed,
hate how easily I touch you.

Find me the sweetest boy, with a heart
more hopeful than spun sugar on a hot day,
I will teach him the meaning of meaningless
nights. The whole time, every moment, wishing
he’d crack me open, rib by rib, to see
how I work. How I bleed.”
― Clementine von Radics

“First of all, nobody can be innocent and wise at the same time. That’s another one of those impossible combinations.”
― Amy Schumer, The Girl with the Lower Back Tattoo

“You never need to apologize
for how you chose to survive.”
― Clementine von Radics

“This book is dedicated to the rule breakers, the troublemakers, and the revolutionaries.
Sometimes the hand that feeds you needs a good bite.”
― Dan Wells
