"Back to reading. It's easier to read now that the military here isn't killing people... I pinned down why I don't like it that much: I am missing my favorite voice, Minerva. Not sure why Alvarez decided to leave her voice out for so long." — Apr 21, 2018 04:27PM

"The magic of dystopian novels lies in the fact that you are fooled into thinking it's an extreme fiction, and then BAM! you discover that the premise is something real. This book starts off with the real. I feel like it should've started in the camps in what seems like a crazy extreme future and given us the back story in flashbacks so we can "discover" that it's actually current. Gonna keep reading, though." — Jun 19, 2019 08:17PM

“It still took years for me to let go of learned pattern's of behavior that negated my capacity to give and receive love. One pattern that made the practice of love especially difficult was my constantly choosing to be with men who were emotionally wounded, who were not that interested in loving, even though they desired to be loved. I wanted to know love but was afraid to be intimate. By choosing men who were not interested in being loving, I was able to practice giving love but always within an unfufilling context. Naturally, my need to receive love was not met. I got what I was accustomed to getting. Care and affection, usually mingled with a degree of unkindness, neglect, and on some occasions, out right cruelty.”

“A generous heart is always open, always ready to receive our going and coming. In the midst of such love we need never fear abandonment. This is the most precious gift true love offers - the experience of knowing we always belong.”

“Visionary feminism is a wise and loving politics. It is rooted in the love of male and female being, refusing to privilege one over the other. The soul of feminist politics is the commitment to ending patriarchal domination of women and men, girls and boys. Love cannot exist in any relationship that is based on domination and coercion. Males cannot love themselves in patriarchal culture if their very self-definition relies on submission to patriarchal rules. When men embrace feminist thinking and practice, which emphasizes the value of mutual growth and self-actualization in all relationships, their emotional well-being will be enhanced. A genuine feminist politics always brings us from bondage to freedom, from lovelessness to loving.”
