“If it is true for you, it is true for someone else, and you are no longer alone.”
Colson Whitehead, The Nickel Boys

Colson Whitehead, The Nickel Boys

Leigh Bardugo

“If only you could talk to girls in equations.”
There was a long silence, and then, eyes trained on the notch they’d created in the link, Wylan said, “Just girls?”

Leigh Bardugo, Six of Crows

Susan Sontag
“It is not, of course, the desire to be beautiful that is wrong but the obligation to be—or to try […] For the ideal of beauty is administered as a form of self-oppression.

Even if some pass muster, some will always be found wanting. Nothing less than perfection will do.”
Susan Sontag
