Lisa Taddeo
“My father did not become the bad guy for me. Not yet. That day I hated my mother for killing my father, but also for all the reasons you cannot say. Part of my child brain hated her because she wasn’t young enough or even beautiful enough. Because she wasn’t strong enough. Or because she was too strong. Because she was so complex where my father was not. I hated my mother, in short, for being a woman.”
Lisa Taddeo, Animal

“My heart is made of glass and if I ever lose you, Betty, my heart will break into more hurt than eternity would have time to heal.”
Tiffany McDaniel, Betty

Dolly Alderton
“Love is homesickness,” I once read in a book. The author’s therapist had told her that the pursuit of love in adulthood is just an expression of missing our mums and dads—that we look for intimacy and romance because we never stop wanting parental security and attention. We simply displace it.”
Dolly Alderton, Ghosts

Lisa Taddeo
“May you not go around the world looking to fill what you fear you lack with the flesh of another human being.”
Lisa Taddeo, Animal

“I realized then that the whole time I thought I'd been walking alone, my father had been with me. Supportin' me. Steadyin' me. Protectin' me, best he could. I knew I had to be strong enough to stand on my own two feet. I had to step out of my father's hands and pull myself up out of the mud. I thought I would be scared to walk the rest of my life without him, but I know I'll never really be without him because each step I take, I see his handprints in the footprints I leave behind.”
Tiffany McDaniel, Betty
