James Baldwin
“the end of innocence is also the end of guilt.”
James Baldwin, Giovanni's Room

Sally Rooney
“It can be exploitative to give money; also to take it. Money overall a very exploitative substance, creating it seems fresh kinds of exploitation in every form of relationality through which it passes. Greasing with exploitation the wheels of human interaction generally.”
Sally Rooney, Intermezzo

William Shakespeare
“Sonnet 70:

That thou art blamed shall not be thy defect,
For slander’s mark was ever yet the fair;
The ornament of beauty is suspect,
A crow that flies in heaven’s sweetest air.
So thou be good, slander doth but approve
Thy worth the greater, being wooed of time;
For canker vice the sweetest buds doth love,
And thou present’st a pure unstained prime.
Thou hast passed by the ambush of young days
Either not assailed, or victor being charged;
Yet this thy praise cannot be so thy praise,
To tie up envy, evermore enlarged,
If some suspect of ill masked not thy show,
Then thou alone kingdoms of hearts shouldst owe.”
William Shakespeare, Shakespeare's Sonnets

Melissa Broder
“But when I observed the ultra-ultra-skinny, I forgot about that suffering and saw only the ways they appeared to be protected—cocooned by an absence of flesh—from judgment, hurt, or shame. When I looked at the ultra-ultra-skinny, I thought: safe.”
Melissa Broder, Milk Fed

Sally Rooney
“This way accepting consolation he must accept also that he needs it.”
Sally Rooney, Intermezzo
