“I know what I think, but words in the head are like voices under water.”
― Jeanette Winterson, Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit

“I avoid looking down at my body, not so much because it’s shameful or immodest but because I don’t want to see it. I don’t want to look at something that determines me so completely.”
― Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid’s Tale

“Our gods did not come to us in any specific form, but we held them in our hearts and understood them in our own way.”
― Natsuo Kirino, The Goddess Chronicle

“Maybe none of this is about control. Maybe it isn’t really about who can own whom, who can do what to whom and get away with it, even as far as death. Maybe it isn’t about who can sit and who has to kneel or stand or lie down, legs spread open. Maybe it’s about who can do what to whom and be forgiven for it. Never tell me it amounts to the same thing.”
― Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid’s Tale
