Quote by Maranda Pleasant

“When people take advantage of our generosity, even when we know they’re wrong, their words still sink in a bit. Perhaps it strengthens the narrative from when we were young, that something was wrong with us—thinking it was our fault when clearly it wasn’t, and perhaps even that we’re responsible for the misbehavior of others. If you were blamed for your own abuse as a kid, or no one ever believed you, these issues can resurface in your adult relationships, and your businesses are not immune.”

“Women can invest a tremendous amount of care and devotion into others, but by becoming sometimes dependent on being needed, they simultaneously become self-destructive. By their self-imposed dependence on being considered necessary, they deny their own freedom and agency, sacrificing their individuality and autonomy. (" Sweet Smell of Submission")”

“Maybe it all began now, my life as a wife comfortable in her own home, a real wife. I tried to remember how Pinocchio had become a real boy. It had something to do with being in a whale, maybe saving his father's life; I hadn't done anything like that. But surely a woman was more complex than a puppet boy and she might become herself not once-and-for-all but cyclically: waxing, waning, sometimes disappearing altogether.”
