Nicholas Bowling
“It occurs to him that the matter of truth is really just a matter of stamina, i.e. who can maintain one's assertions the longest, until all opposition is simply too tired to challenge them.”
Nicholas Bowling, Alpha Omega

Michael Tolkin
“This is my life, he wanted to tell them all. You are my people, I am one of you. This party is not just a thing I have to do. I am happy here.”
Michael Tolkin, The Player

Jessa Crispin
“You can’t overcompensate for some men’s problems with women by insisting on our purity and innocence. The way we deal with other people’s inhumanity is to insist on our humanity, not by insisting we are somehow a better, more honest version of human. That requires admitting to the shitty things that some women do, the violence they commit, the lies they tell to get what they want. Our job is not to convince anyone of anything. That is another form of control: telling someone what they want to hear to get them to believe what we want them to believe. Our job is to act like humans.”
jessa crispin, Why I Am Not a Feminist: A Feminist Manifesto

Michelle Sacks
“They cut you open and scrape it all out, scoop it from you like the innards of a melon. The knots of flesh and malevolent cells. Scoop, scratch, snip. It's all gone. Everything that sat there, waiting inside you. Biding its time from girlhood to womanhood, knowing all the secrets, promising all the gifts. One day, your body whispers in your ear. One day you will perform miracles with your flesh. Ovaries. Womb. Gone. Eradicated. You weep for what is lost, but the tears wash nothing away, they just empty you out even further.”
Michelle Sacks, You Were Made for This

Billy Jensen
“Whenever people ask me why I only write about unsolved murders, I always say the same thing: because I hate the guy who got away with it. But after Michelle died, it was different. Now I hate the perpetrator for taking over the lives of the living just as much as taking the lives of the dead. The victim’s families. The investigators. The volunteers. they all gave up giant chunks of their own lives to search for an answer that someone selfishly kept hidden away.

People die before getting the answer.”
Billy Jensen, Chase Darkness with Me: How One True-Crime Writer Started Solving Murders
