“I believe unconditionally in the right of people with uteruses to decide what grows inside of their body and feeds on their blood and endangers their life and reroutes their future. There are no ‘good’ abortions and ‘bad’ abortions, there are only pregnant people who want them and pregnant people who don’t, pregnant people who have access and support and pregnant people who face institutional roadblocks and lies.”
― Lindy West, Shrill: Notes from a Loud Woman

“With more insight into the English character, I poured out a stiff whisky and soda and placed it in front of the gloomy inspector.”
― Agatha Christie, Lord Edgware Dies

“Do not antagonize your son! He is of an age to choose for himself. Because his choice is not your choice, do not assume that you must be right. If it is a misfortune—then accept misfortune. Be at hand to aid him when he needs aid. But do not turn him against you.”
― Agatha Christie, Lord Edgware Dies

“A painless lesson is one without any meaning, one who does not sacrifice anything cannot achieve anything.”
― Hiromu Arakawa, Fullmetal Alchemist, Vol. 1
