Etaf Rum
“I was born without a voice, one cold, overcast day in Brooklyn, New York. No one ever spoke of my condition. I did not know I was mute until years later, when I opened my mouth to ask for what I wanted and realized no one could hear me.”
Etaf Rum, A Woman Is No Man

Etaf Rum
“Her powerlessness even comforted her somehow. Knowing that she couldn't change things - that she didn't have a choice - made living it more bearable.”
Etaf Rum, A Woman Is No Man

Bonnie Garmus
“On the other hand, wasn't that the very definitely of life? Constant adaptations brought about by a series of never-ending mistakes?”

Bonnie Garmus, Lessons in Chemistry

“These rules were fascinating to me; the body dictating what you must do. I had fallen into the habit of neglecting my body, often forgetting to feed it, and when I was assaulted I refused even to look at it. Now my body was saying, you have to listen to me. You have to respect my needs. We have to work together or you will end up hurt.”
Chanel Miller, Know My Name: A Memoir
