Virginie Despentes
“Los hombres denuncian con virulencia las injusticias sociales o raciales, pero se muestran indulgentes y comprensivos cuando se trata de la dominación machista (...) piensan que una forma de opresión es insoportable y que la otra está llena de poesía”
Virginie Despentes, King Kong théorie

Virginie Despentes
“Afrika'nın haritası nasıl o toprakların gerçekliğini yok sayarak sadece işgalcilerin kendi çıkarları doğrultusunda çizilmişse, anne-orospu ikiliği de kadın bedenine aynı şekilde cetvelle çizilmiş gibidir. "Doğal" bir süreçten değil politik bir iradeden kaynaklanır. Kadınlar, birbirleriyle bağdaşmayan iki seçenek arasında kalmaya mahkum edilmiştir. Erkeklerse başka türde bir ikilikte sıkışmışlardır: Onları azdıran şey bir sorun olarak kalmalıdır.”
Virginie Despentes, King Kong théorie

Virginie Despentes
“She’s lost her links to her old world, but she has never felt close to the one she’s in now. She’s torn in different directions, at a loss.”
Virginie Despentes, Bye Bye Blondie

Elizabeth Wurtzel
“So to hell with dignity. Dignity has got nothing on Rita Hayworth singing “Put the Blame on Mame” in Gilda, and absolutely nothing on Mae West in anything. It seems far more exciting to be a Siren beckoning with her song or Calypso captivating on her island than to be Penelope, the archetype of female fidelity, weaving and unweaving at her loom, sending her suitors away, waiting for the errant Odysseus to return, waiting while he luxuriates in lotusland, waiting while, as one correspondent to The New York Times Book Review put it, he “commits adultery with various gorgeous, high-class women,” waiting for her husband like Lucy waits for Desi at the end of the day, or Alice waits for Ralph at the end of the night. Bad girls don’t wait around—one doesn’t get to go everywhere by sitting by the phone.”
Elizabeth Wurtzel, Bitch: In Praise of Difficult Women

Arthur Miller
“If personal meaning, in this cheer leader society, lies in success, then failure must threaten identity itself.”
Arthur Miller, Death of a Salesman: Certain Private Conversations in Two Acts and a Requiem
