“Hay algo desmoralizante en observar a dos personas que se excitan más y más locamente entre sí, especialmente cuando la única persona que sobre en la habitación es uno mismo.
Es como contemplar París desde el vagón de cola de un expreso que marcha en dirección contraria: a cada instante la ciudad se hace más y más pequeña, sólo que es uno quien se siente cada vez más y más pequeño y más y más solitario, alejándose a toda velocidad de aquellas luces y de aquella agitación, alejándose a cerca de un millón de kilómetros por hora.”
― The Bell Jar

“I'm a sociopath. I look normal, but I'm not. I'm smarter, better, and freer, because I'm not bound by rules, law, emotion or regard for you.”

“When they (the men, the scavengers)
come for you, do not give yourself
to them so easily.
Wear your strength like armour,
fight like a beast.
Do not let them tell you that
you belong to them.
Be fearless.
Be a lion.
Be like lava.
Rip them apart,
and burn their bones.
And when you are done,
tell the world that
you belong to no man.
That you are a lady,
a warrior,
a tsunami,
and you belong only to yourself.”

“You are twenty. You are not dead, although you were dead. The girl who died. And was resurrected. Children. Witches. Magic. Symbols. Remember the illogic of the fantasy.”

“You won’t shoot me."
"People tend to overestimate my character," I say quietly. "They think that because I’m small, or a girl, or a Stiff, I can’t possibly be cruel. But they’re wrong.”
