"350 pages to the end and I have to stop again cuz HOLY SMOKES book 4 isn’t easy to read y’all. At first I thought, yeah, I can handle this, not too graphic. But no no no, it’s too much! Resuming in a bit though cuz I love this book so much." May 29, 2019 03:33PM

Virginia Woolf
“The truth is, I often like women. I like their unconventionality. I like their completeness. I like their anonymity. ”
Virginia Woolf

Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick
“It seems to me that an often quiet, but often palpable presiding image here... is the interpretive absorption of the child or adolescent whose sense of personal queerness may or may not (yet?) have resolved... Such a child - if she reads at all - is reading for important news about herself, without knowing what form that news will take; with only the patchiest familiarity with its codes; without, even, more than hungrily hypothesizing to what questions this news may proffer an answer.”
Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, Novel Gazing: Queer Readings in Fiction

Miranda July
“The idea that you might end up in a job that doesn't allow you to be who you are, over the course of a lifetime, is still one of the most chilling nightmares to me. It's a good metaphor for fears I have about losing my soul in some accidental, mundane way. So, to me, these jobs that my characters have are very loaded. They immediately suggest a complex character to me, a woman who is, say, a secretary, but also a vigilante on behalf of her own soul.”
Miranda July

Gabriel García Márquez
“The world must be all fucked up," he said then, "when men travel first class and literature goes as freight.”
Gabriel García Márquez

Virginia Woolf
“I would venture to guess that Anon, who wrote so many poems without signing them, was often a woman.”
Virginia Woolf, A Room of One’s Own
