“Fuck no, that stuff just comes from food. The real poison comes out of your head. All your fuck-ups and sadnesses and fears drop down like some sort of brainshit into your guts and build up there. That's what really fucks you up. I told you before.”
― Matthew Stokoe, COWS

“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

“Charles Baudelaire’s refusal was the most profound form of refusal, for it was in no way the assertion of an opposite principle. It only expressed that which was indefensible and impossible in the poet’s obstructed state of mind.”
― Georges Bataille, Literature and Evil

“Bad girls understand that there is no point in being good and suffering in silence. What good has good ever done?”

“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.”
