It will. Over and over again.
Even as you live.”

“I never realized how much bullshit is bound to the bottom of your hair. How it carries with it the years and experiences, all it has witnessed, has endured. The reason you can’t let go of your past is that it’s still attached. That weight on your shoulders, the strain on your back and neck. It’s your dead ends. Cut your hair! I’m going to scream it from the rooftops and while running down the street, all across America.”
― Rachel Harrison, Cackle

“That's what intimacy is, I think. That's love. Knowing the smell of someone else's head.”
― Rachel Harrison, The Return
