“When the woman is king, not queen, not princess, but the absolute monarch of the kingdom of apes, that’s the beginning of actual human evolution.”

“Straight lines go too quickly to appreciate the pleasures of the journey. They rush straight to their target and then die in the very moment of their triumph without having thought, loved, suffered or enjoyed themselves. Broken lines do not know what they want. With their caprices they cut time up, abuse routes, slash the joyous flowers and split the peaceful fruits with their corners. It is another story with curved lines. The song of the curved line is called happiness.”
“May you remember that you are allowed to be foolish. You are allowed to unlearn the weight of wisdom. You are allowed to take up space with laughter that doesn’t need to be understood.
You don’t owe the world your composure.
You don’t owe anyone the version of yourself that made them comfortable.”

“En la literatura de Jane Austen hay ironías contra las reglas que las mujeres debían obedecer, pero esas ironías están siempre bajo control, nunca, dice Virginia, tenemos la sensación de que las angustias de la autora se estén colando. Cuando las exhibe es porque las quiere exhibir, y en los términos en que prefiere hacerlo”

“Ich schreibe dieses Buch nicht, weil ich Männer hasse.
Ich schreibe dieses Buch, weil ich Frauen liebe.”

“Den Mangel an Erzählungen von guten Frauen, mutigen Frauen, respektierten Frauen, wichtigen Frauen, starken Frauen habe ich nicht hinterfragt. Wenn über diese Frauen nicht geschrieben wurde, nicht gesprochen wurde, dann hat das in mir kein Nachfragen ausgelöst: "Wo sind diese Frauen?"
Sondern nur ein resigniertes "Es gab diese
Frauen nicht."
Was nicht stimmt.
Es gab sie.
Es gab sie, die Frauen, die zusammenhielten, untereinander, und nach und nach kommen die Geschichten zusammen, Frauen schreiben über Frauen und Frauen schreiben für Frauen.”

“Women hold the weight of the world
But you still talk down and call me little girl
I hate that shit
It's a no if she needs to be coerced
My body's not an object or dessert
I am not your bitch
I am not your bitch, wanna see me switch?
Get psycho like they say I am
Scared of me, you flinch
I don't need your inches
Y'all in my mentions
I feel fuckboy rich
Think you're slick?
I burn bridges quick
I won't sacrifice my humanity, sanity
For the dick, I won't”
“Wütende Frauen haben immer die Geschichte verändert, nur ihr Ruf ist schlecht. Der Ruf der Wut wurde von Männern vereinnahmt, denn wütende Frauen sind zu mächtig.”

“If I wanted to live my dream life, I’d have to be my own Prince Charming. Because, at the end of the day, the only person who can truly rescue me is myself.”

“it’s so liberating, to have a job that pays well in a world where women are often expected to simply co-exist. I got to carve my own space, to exist on my own terms. Earning my own money, however I chose to, saving it, and spending it in any way I pleased with no one to answer to but myself. It felt like a quiet rebellion, a way of taking control of my own future in a world that didn’t always offer women that kind of freedom.”
