“I would love to be cold, but it is difficult for a woman. People seem to see warmth in me, even when I offer none. Maybe if I was thinner it would be easier. But it seems to me that sometimes a woman with flesh is a woman who must always be grateful.”
― Dizz Tate, Brutes

“We feel chased. It doesn't matter if it's only by our own shadows.”
― Dizz Tate, Brutes

“I am always chasing my children. I remember feeling chased as a child, but I never remember my mother chasing me. Perhaps she did not. Perhaps this is why I am the person I turned out to be.”
― Dizz Tate, Brutes

“That's all care is, I thought, it's just looking at a thing long enough, why should it be a question of scale? This seemed like a hopeful thought at first, but then it's hard to look at things, or to look at them truly, and we can't look at many at once, and it's so easy to look away.”
― Garth Greenwell, What Belongs to You
