“It’s an engagingly evil paradox—the kind of mind-fucking a North Korean dictatorship would go in for, if they decided to suppress the proletariat using only cattiness and rampant body dysmorphia.”

“Billy’s whistle isn’t part of the act, which he doesn’t think of as an act but as his dumb self, the one he shows to guys like Nick and Frank and Paulie. It’s like a seatbelt. You don’t use it because you expect to be in a crash, but you never know who you might meet coming over a hill on your side of the road.”
― Stephen King, Billy Summers

“For if a pregnant woman has dominion over life, why should she not also have dominion over not-life? This is a concept understood by other cultures. The Hindu goddess Kali is both Mother of the Whole Universe and Devourer of All Things. She is life and death. In Sumeria, Inanna is the goddess of sex and fertility, but she also turns into Ereshkigal, goddess of the underworld. On a very elemental level, if women are, by biology, commanded to host, shelter, nurture, and protect life, why should they not be empowered to end life, too?”
― Caitlin Moran, How To Be A Woman

“You, of all people, should know that you can’t tell a single thing about a person’s true character if you both want the same thing. That’s like a dog and a cat getting along because they both want to kill the mouse.”
― Taylor Jenkins Reid, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo
