Quote by Rory Miles

“The woman is a force of nature.” Crash relaxes a bit but doesn’t move from where he’s positioned himself as a wall before me. “She sure as hell is, but she deals with enough from assholes like her coworker. Just because she’s a force of nature doesn’t mean she should have to put up with everyone’s shit.”

Inspirational Quotes

Author:Nakia R. Laushaul

“When you want to be a woman, follow my advice. Speak in a thin, pretty voice. It has to be high-pitched. Try pushing it up into your nose. Cover your mouth when you laugh. Press down firmly and neatly when writing. Grow your hair to your shoulders. Curls are discouraged. Flap your wrists often. Show enthusiasm about grocery shopping and cooking. Beef up your cooking skills. Be unfailingly kind to others—especially men. Use your charm to get out of danger. Fall in love with a man. Eat very little. Even if you really want to finish it, leave some on your plate. Make sure you attain a slim figure and maintain it for your whole life. Play dumb, with no regard for your actual intelligence. Disparage your driving. Be chatty. Try your best to sincerely enjoy cleaning and doing laundry. Think of weakness as a virtue, and let your strength rot away. Wear makeup even in your dreams. Wear bright clothing. Conceal your sexual appetite, and take it to your grave. Become shyness incarnate. . . . There’s a fuckton more where that all comes from. I just couldn’t write it all down. To act the part of a woman, you’ve got to memorize a hefty script.”

“It’d been difficult to make it as a female tattoo artist in the 1990s, but at that point, she wouldn’t have known what to do if she didn’t have to fight for her place in the world.

“The Dark Cloud Is the lack of a cultural barometer that world leaders possess Is the obsession that people seem to have with how women dress Is the terror that people in war zones experience because they are treated like expendable pawns in chess Is the amount of effort, work, and chaos students have that leaves them in constant stress”
