“Evil triumphs when good men do nothing. That’s what they say, right?”

― Christina Dalcher, Vox

“Monsters aren’t born, ever. They’re made, piece by piece and limb by limb, artificial creations of madmen who, like the misguided Frankenstein, always think they know better.”
― Christina Dalcher, Vox

“They won't kill us for the same reason they won't sanction abortions. We've turned into necessary evils, objects to be fucked and not heard.”
― Christina Dalcher, Vox

“Think about waking up one morning and finding you don’t have a voice in anything.”
― Christina Dalcher, Vox

“There's a resistance?" The word sounds sweet as I say it.
"Honey, there's always a resistance.”
― Christina Dalcher, Vox

“My fault started two decades ago, the first time I didn't vote, the umpteen times I told Jackie I was too busy to go on one of her marches or make posters or call my congressmen.”
― Christina Dalcher, Vox

“Maybe this is how it happened in Germany with the Nazis, in Bosnia with the Serbs, in Rwanda with the Hutus. I’ve often wondered about that, about how kids can turn into monsters, how they learn that killing is right and oppression is just, how in one single generation the world can change on its axis into a place that’s unrecognizable.”
― Christina Dalcher, Vox

“I learned that once a plan is in place, everything can happen overnight.”
― Christina Dalcher, Vox

“Think about where you’ll be—where your daughters will be—when the courts turn back the clock. Think about words like ‘spousal permissionâ€� and ‘paternal consent.â€� Think about waking up one morning and finding you don’t have a voice in anything.”
― Christina Dalcher, Vox

“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”

“Whoever came up with the ida of labeling classified documents with larger-than-life red stenciling that advertises—or at least hints at—the contents was a schmuck, I think. You might as well put a tag that says OPEN ME! on it. If it were up to me, I'd hide all secrets in back copies of Reader's Digest.”
― Christina Dalcher, Vox

“If you want to know what depression looks like, all you need to do is look into a depressed person’s eyes.”
― Christina Dalcher, Vox

“We’re on a slippery slide to prehistory, girls. Think about it. Think about where you’ll be—where your daughters will be—when the courts turn back the clock. Think about words like ‘spousal permissionâ€� and ‘paternal consent.â€� Think about waking up one morning and finding you don’t have a voice in anything.”
― Christina Dalcher, Vox

“We all don't have to be carbon copies of one another to work on the same team, but we can learn from other people.”
― Christina Dalcher, Vox

“Memory is a damnable faculty.”

“For a six-year-old, she’s got some talent, and this drawing is among her better ones, in a way. The six figures actually resemble us—Patrick, Steven, the twins, me, and Sonia. We’re all standing in our garden, holding hands under a tree that’s blooming with white stars. She’s got the twins in matching outfits and she’s drawn something that looks more like a suitcase than a briefcase in Patrick’s free hand. Steven wears his new pin; my hair is pulled back into a ponytail. Around my wrist and Sonia’s are bracelets: red for her and black for me. We’re all smiling under a sun she’s decorated with orange hearts. “Beautiful,â€� I say, taking the drawing. But I don’t think it’s beautiful. I think it’s the ugliest fucking thing I’ve ever seen.”

“You can start small, Jeanie," she said. "Attend some rallies, hand out flyers, talk to a few people about issues. You don't have to change the world all by yourself, you know."
And the usual catchphrases ensued: grassroots, one step at a time, it's the little things, hope-change-yes-we-can!.”
― Christina Dalcher, Vox

“I have words now, but no idea how to use them, no clue how to make my daughter's life better, if only for a while.”
― Christina Dalcher, Vox

“You can take a lot away from a person - money, job, intellectual stimulation, whatever. You can take her words, even, without changing the essence of her.
Take away camaraderie, though, and we’re talking about something different.”
― Christina Dalcher, Vox

“Who do you think is angriest right now? In our country, I mean.â€� I shrugged. “African Americans?â€� She made a buzzing noise, a sort of you’re-out-but-we’ve-got-some-lovely-consolation-prizes-backstage kind of a sound. “Guess again.â€� “Gays?â€� “No, you dope. The straight white dude. He’s angry as shit. He feels emasculated.â€� “Honestly, Jacko.â€� “Of course he does.â€� Jackie pointed a purple fingernail at me. “You just wait. It’s gonna be a different world in a few years if we don’t do something to change it. Expanding Bible Belt, shit-ass representation in Congress, and a pack of power-hungry little boys who are tired of being told they gotta be more sensitive.â€� She laughed then, a wicked laugh that shook her whole body. “And don’t think they’ll all be men. The Becky Homeckies will be on their side.â€� “The who?â€� Jackie nodded at my sweats and bed-matted hair, at the pile of yesterday’s dishes in the sink, and finally at her own outfit. It was one of the more interesting fashion creations I’d seen on her in a while—paisley leggings, an oversized crocheted sweater that used to be beige but had now taken on the color of various other articles of clothing, and purple stiletto boots. “The Susie Homemakers. Those girls in matching skirts and sweaters and sensible shoes going for their Mrs. degrees. You think they like our sort? Think again.”

“Anything" is a funny little word, overused and rarely literal.
"Anything" never covers the whole gamut of existence.”
― Christina Dalcher, Vox

“Don’t you worry, honey. I’ll love you ’til you’re dead. Maybe a while after that.”
― Christina Dalcher, Vox

“Not your fault,â€� Lorenzo says. But it is. And my fault didn’t start when I signed Morgan’s contract on Thursday. My fault started two decades ago, the first time I didn’t vote, the umpteen times I told Jackie I was too busy to go on one of her marches or make posters or call my congressmen.”

“Lo único que hace falta para el triunfo del mal es que los hombres buenos no hagan nada.”
