“What you'll have of me after I journey to that great Death Star in the sky is an extremely accomplished daughter, a few books, and a picture of a stern-looking girl wearing some kind of metal bikini lounging on a giant drooling squid, behind a newscaster informing you of the passing of Princess Leia after a long battle with her head.”
― Carrie Fisher, Shockaholic

“There are a few things as heartbreaking to me as seeing a person swimming in a T-shirt. And I can speak with the authority of someone who did it for years. It is conspicuous. It bogs you down.

― Liz Prince, Tomboy: A Graphic Memoir

“Could my problem have been that I was looking for validation in the wrong places all along?”
― Liz Prince, Tomboy: A Graphic Memoir
