Jacqueline Carey
“It seems to me that the gods are cruel to women who eat fruit, but that is a thought I keep to myself.”
Jacqueline Carey, Miranda and Caliban

J.D. Robb
“Would you be shedding tears for McNab’s dead body if he’d been screwing around on you?”

Peabody pursed her lips. “Well, since I’d’ve been the one who killed him, I’d probably be shedding tears for me because you’d be arresting me. And that would really make me sad.”
J.D. Robb, Strangers in Death

Slavoj Žižek
“Q- What makes you depressed?

Seeing stupid people happy.”
Slavoj Žižek

Andrea Dworkin
“They don't act like human beings and they're pretty proud of it so there's no point in pretending they are; though you want to - pretend.”
Andrea Dworkin, Mercy

“It's an essential of our species to be accommodating, part of whatever crowd has been provided: obstreperous in jumble sales, plaintive among policemen, aroused in one specific dentist's chair. And then, once we've gone to the trouble of adjusting, why not keep hold of this or that stylish trait? It's not as if we're stealing - more like multiplying attributes: they stay with the original owner, but we get to play with them as well. Two of my laughs belong to a physics teacher, the way I throw my holdall into cars harks back to a film I saw once, something to do with desert highways. If we're honest, what other reason does anyone have for wasting their money on cinema trips? We go to pick up characteristics, to renovate our personalities with cladding and patches we've filched from the screen.

Nobody is complete - we all need topping up.”
A.L. Kennedy, Paradise
