Quote by Karen Ho

“The premise of accepting a job at an investment bank is the understanding that you are "rewarded" for the risk of taking on a job that is not a career but rather a "financial relationship" where you must be worth more than what you are being paid today.”

“A deep and loving relationship is like weaving a beautiful tapestry. You start with a blank canvas, and with every experience, a new thread is added—each of a different color and thickness. The layers of time continue this process, which includes the good and the troublesome of what life has to offer. The richness of color and strength of fiber intensify, fleshed out over the crucible of a relationship. And in the end, if the kindness and beauty of love have been yours to share, you have woven a work of art.”

“I’m not thankful for being fucked over, I’m thankful for what I took from it. What I learned. What I taught myself in that particular moment. I'm grateful someone was able to take me there and let me be in that moment - not with them, but with myself. How my emotions could surrender to someone and make me feel everything I felt. It destroyed me, but I made my way through; and I look back years from, and I still love him, I do.”

“All of Her is Holy Site (Boys Be Men, Sonnet) Way to a woman's heart is through her eyes, not between her legs. All of her is holy site, to wander unwelcome even with eyes is sickness. First be her sanctuary, her safe haven, then be the filthiest beast you can be. Slave to her kinks between the sheets, and in society be her shameless shield. Anybody can stay the night, takes backbone to stay the life. Penetration of flesh is animal affair, human miracle is to touch the mind. Boys be Men! Lift your brain above your belt. In monsoon be her brolly, in drought be her rain.”

“I say, don't cry," he said. "It's all over now." She shook her head. "It's not the riot," she said. "I've seen fights before. But this is the first time anyone ever took care of me. All my life I've had to look after myself. It's a new experience." He did not know what to say. All the girls he had ever met assumed that men would take care of them automatically. Being with Maisie was a constant revelation.”
