Lara  Parker
“Despite knowing for a fact that this pain and these illnesses are not my fault, that’s hard to remember on the bad days. I begin to blame myself and then feel ashamed that I caused someone else to pause their life to help me through something that my brain is telling me I caused.”
Lara Parker, Vagina Problems: Endometriosis, Painful Sex, and Other Taboo Topics

Brit Bennett
“She could think of nothing more horrifying than not being able to hide what she wanted.”
Brit Bennett, The Vanishing Half

Brit Bennett
“You could never quite get used to loneliness; every time she thought she had, she sank further into it.”
Brit Bennett, The Vanishing Half

Brit Bennett
“Loretta said that, a couple months ago, Cindy asked her what assassination meant. She told her the truth, of course—that an assassination is when someone kills you to make a point. Which was correct enough, Stella supposed, but only if you were an important man. Important men became martyrs, unimportant ones victims. The important men were given televised funerals, public days of mourning. Their deaths inspired the creation of art and the destruction of cities. But unimportant men were killed to make the point that they were unimportant—that they were not even men—and the world continued on.”
Brit Bennett, The Vanishing Half

Lara  Parker
“Being mad at my own body for something it has no control over only succeeded in making everything hurt even more.”
Lara Parker, Vagina Problems: Endometriosis, Painful Sex, and Other Taboo Topics
