Quote by Anita Bartholomew

“There are children, right now, who will never be able to experience orgasms as adults because their puberty was blocked when they were very young. Many of them will be sterile, as well. There is no way they could have consented to these losses at the age of eight, nine, ten, or eleven. And far more won't discover until years later how these brutal interventions predisposed them to the disease that typically affect those much older, such as diabetes, heart disease, liver disease, osteoporosis, and reproductive system atrophy. They, too, are currently barred from seeking justice due to their states' statute of limitations on medical malpractice.”

“Oh, look at me, Montag. The man who loved books, no, the boy who was wild for them, insane for them, who climbed the stacks like a chimpanzee gone mad for them. I ate them like salad, books were my sandwich for lunch, my tiffin and dinner and midnight munch. I tore out the pages, ate them with salt, doused them with relish, gnawed on the bindings, turned the chapters with my tongue! Books by the dozen, the score, and the billion. I carried so many home I was hunchbacked for years.”
