Vanessa’s Notes & Highlights

Carmilla and Laura by S.D. Simper

4 highlights

After nineteen years of silence, my life hardly felt like a living, breathing world, but a bubble of time, the passage shown only in the graying strands of my father’s hair and my own growth from child to young woman.

Vanessa’s Quotes

“And is immortality necessarily good?" Roisin asked mildly. "What will happen when everyone you love is gone? When you're alone, and nothing matters any longer because you don't have the prospect of your own mortality to give it weight?"

"Listen, I understand you've got an argument to make, but never in my life have I thought, 'You know what really makes this lemon cake delicious? Knowing that one day I will die.”
― Samara Breger, A Long Time Dead

“Poppy knew of Pandora, of Psyche, of Bluebeard's wife--all women punished for their fatal curiosity. But this was her house and she was Poppy Cavendish. No door nor morality tale could stop her. After all, she couldn't read.”
― Samara Breger, A Long Time Dead

“Can I call it haunted when I'm every ghost?”

“Her muscles had locked and released, seized and spasmed and twisted, Her organs had become a frightened mouse, her body the powerful snake digesting it.”
― Samara Breger, A Long Time Dead

“When Audre Lorde wrote that oft-instagrammed quote: 'Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare,' she didn't mean that self-care should be selfish or a form of self-flagellation, that it should be an overpriced moisturizer or a painful procedure. Self-care, in reality, is supposed to coincide with community care. It means taking time for yourself so that you can better support those around you - resting so that you can be a part of the revolution, helping other women with child-care, prepping meals for those in need or providing a voice for the voiceless. We, as women, win and lose together. Sorority is self-care.”
― Ellen Atlanta, Pixel Flesh: How Toxic Beauty Culture Harms Women
