Book cover for The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo
My mother raised me to be polite, to be demure. I have long operated under the idea that civility is subservience. But it hasn’t gotten me very far, that type of kindness. The world respects people who think they should be running it.

Caitlin Moran
“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.”
Caitlin Moran, How To Be A Woman

Stephen  King
“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

Caitlin Moran
“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

Taylor Jenkins Reid
“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

Stephen  King
“Anyway, you’re gonna learn,” Alice said. “They say bachelors have all the fun. Not so. You just get old and full of sand, nasty, the way that Mr. Freeman is. He’s got that sidewalk-level apartment and he’s always standing there in the window, hoping for a strong breeze.”
Stephen King, The Stand
