Tove Jansson
“Passion. As you can see, I've lived quite a long time, which is to say I've been working for quite a long time, which is the same thing. And you know what? In the whole silly business, the only thing that really matters is passion. It comes and it goes. At first it just comes to you free of charge, and you don't understand, and you waste it. And then it becomes a thing to nurture.”
Tove Jansson, The Woman Who Borrowed Memories: Selected Stories

Jessica Valenti
“Women are raising children, picking up socks, and making sure you feel like a man by supporting you when you need it and looking sexy (but not trying too hard, because that would be pathetic). We're being independent and bad bitches while wearing fucking lipstick and heels so as not to offend your delicate aesthetic sensibility, yet even just the word "feminist" pisses you off. How dare we.”
Jessica Valenti, Sex Object: A Memoir

Eve Babitz
“There is no precedent for women getting their own "everything" and learning that it's not the answer.”
Eve Babitz, Slow Days, Fast Company: The World, the Flesh, and L.A.

Jessica Valenti
“Being treated nicely felt wrong somehow, as if we were acting out what a relationship should be rather than being in it. For men who hate women, an admission like this one is proof that see, women want a guy who treats them like shit but that's not true either. What is closer to the truth is that when confronted with the love you deserve, it is easier to mock it than accept it.”
Jessica Valenti, Sex Object: A Memoir

Jessica Valenti
“Because even subversive sarcasm adds a cool-girl nonchalance, an updated, sharper version of the expectation that women be forever pleasant, even as we're eating shit.”
Jessica Valenti, Sex Object: A Memoir
