Roxane Gay
“More troubling than this oddly timed debate about birth control is the vehemence with which women need to justify or explain why they take birth control—health reasons, to regulate periods, you know, as if there's anything wrong with taking birth control simply because you want to have sex without that sex resulting in pregnancy.”
Roxane Gay, Bad Feminist

Anthony Bourdain
“Don't lie about it. You made a mistake. Admit it and move on. Just don't do it again. Ever”
Anthony Bourdain, Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly

Christopher Hitchens
MT [Mother Teresa] was not a friend of the poor. She was a friend of poverty. She said that suffering was a gift from God. She spent her life opposing the only known cure for poverty, which is the empowerment of women and the emancipation of them from a livestock version of compulsory reproduction.”
Christopher Hitchens

Anthony Bourdain
“your body is not a temple, it's an amusement park. Enjoy the ride.”
Anthony Bourdain, Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly

William Voegeli
“At the time when St. Francis impulsively gave his fine clothes to a beggar, nobody seems to have been very interested in what happened to the beggar. Was he rehabilitated? Did he open a small business? Or was he to be found the next day, naked again, in an Assisi gutter, having traded the clothes for a flagon of Orvieto?”
William Voegeli, The Pity Party: A Mean-Spirited Diatribe Against Liberal Compassion
