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

Kathleen Collins
“...later she would laugh when she discovered that meaninglessness came from the dark shaft of gloom that surrounded her day and night, and that ecstasy was just a sunny room away.”
Kathleen Collins, Whatever Happened to Interracial Love?
tags: life

“Women are gaslit into believing that their bodies - the very thing that allows them to hack the big brain-small pelvis equation - are problematic and that consequently they themselves are problematic. We're dirty, silly, fat, gross, weak, or we're simply complainers. We are forced to make do with a medical system largely designed around the needs of men and we have our medical concerns dismissed as "not that bad" or we are told they are fabricated.”
Jennifer Gunter, The Menopause Manifesto: Own Your Health with Facts and Feminism

Carlo Rovelli
“Here, on the edge of what we know, in contact with the ocean of the unknown, shines the mystery and beauty of the world. And it’s breathtaking.”
Carlo Rovelli, Seven Brief Lessons on Physics

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
