“Asi no se puede vivir
¿Vivir? Morir sí
Niña. Tu quieres acabar con todo.
Eso quiero. Porque no conozco otro medio para que los hombres acaben.”
― Christa Wolf, Cassandra

“Estoy cansada de no saber donde morirme. Esa es la mayor tristeza del emigrado.”
― María Teresa León, Memoria de la melancolía

“Often father and daughter look down on mother (woman) together. They exchange meaningful glances when she misses a point. They agree that she is not bright as they are, cannot reason as they do. This collusion does not save the daughter from the mother’s fate.”
― Bonnie Burstow, Radical Feminist Therapy: Working in the Context of Violence

“sometimes
the apology
never comes
when it is wanted

and when it comes
it is neither wanted
nor needed

-you are too late”
― Rupi Kaur, Milk and honey
