Quote by Lauren Berlant

“It [women's culture] survives also because it's central fantasy, and the one this book elaborates, is the constantly emplotted desire of a complex person to rework the details of her history to become a vague or simpler version of herself, usually in the vicinity of a love plot”

“For when God is said by these things to try men and prove them, to see what is in their hearts and whether they will keep His commandments or no, we are not to understand, that it is for His own information, or that He may obtain evidence Himself of their sincerity (for he needs no trials for His information); but chiefly for their conviction, and to exhibit evidence to their consciences... So when God tempted or tried Abraham with that difficult command of offering up his son, it was not for His satisfaction, whether he feared God or no, but for Abraham's own greater satisfaction and comfort, and the more clear manifestation of the favour of God to him.”

“My eyes widened. And as I was walking downstairs, I heard laughter. I reached the bottom of the stairs. "Hello?" The man-well, he looked more like a teenager than a grown man. Nearly older than me- who was standing next to Madson, he looked at me with narrowed eyes. "You are?" "David." "Why are you here? How are you here?" He held a hand up. "I'll ask the questions here. Your name?" I stiffened. "Thats classified information about me." He sighed. "Redlyn." To that I froze completely. "how do you know that?”

“Red?" Madson said his structure hazed, fuzzy, leaning over me. "Red!" he repeated. I started to be able to see him again. He was looking up at someone, saying something. "Should we take her to the paramedics?" "She's fine," Davids voice. "She survived a bullet to the neck. She can live through passing out." "She hit her head on the table! And she hit the ground hard!" Kenith's voice now.”

“I smiled at him. But my mind was somewhere else. Running through memories of me and my childhood best friend. At how he looked at me, talked to me, laughed with me, and anything else he did with me. Then I remembered his words. "Because in a braking world, you're still the one I would look for, no matter what." I knew he never truly said he loved me, maybe thought about it, but never said it. And if he ever gave a clue to it. I always ignored them.”
