― Joan Didion, Blue Nights

“Maybe all women were shapeshifters, changing instantly depending on who was around.”

“They were not asked to adhere to the same rules. If there were countless guidelines women had to follow; cover your drink, stick close to others, don't wear short skirts. Their behaviour was the constant, while we were the variable expected to change. When did it become our job to do all the preventing and managing? And if houses existed where many girls got hurt, shouldn't we hold guys to a higher standard instead of reprimanding the girl? Why was passing out considered more reprehensible than fingering the passed out person?”
― Chanel Miller, Know My Name

“This book does not have a happy ending. The happy part is there is no ending, because I'll always find a way to keep going.”
