“Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, and I took the one most travelled by. It was littered with corpses, as such roads are. But as you will have noticed, my own corpse is not among them.”
― Margaret Atwood, The Testaments

“Little girls are kept away from the things that would make them strong, in the name of protection and propriety.”
― Sara Donati, Into the Wilderness

“The muscles of my face were beginning to hurt. Under some conditions, smiling is a workout.”
― Margaret Atwood, The Testaments

“Imagine saying to someone, “I have a kidney problem, and I’m having a lot of bad days lately.” Nothing but sympathy, right? “What’s wrong?” “My mom had that!” “Text me a pic of the ultrasound!” Then pretend to say, “I have severe depression and anxiety, and I’m having a lot of bad days lately.” They just look at you like you’re broken, right? Unfixable. Inherently flawed. Maybe not someone they want to hang around as much? Yeah, society sucks.”
― Felicia Day, You're Never Weird on the Internet
