Quote by Lidia Yuknavitch

“Men are among the loneliest creatures. They lose their mothers and cannot carry children, and have nothing to comfort themselves with but their vestigial cockular appendages. This is perhaps the reason they move ever warward when they are not moving fuckward.”

“By making the term "man" subsume "woman" and arrogate to itself the representation of all humanity, men have built a conceptual error of vast proportion into all of their thought. By taking the half for the whole, they have not only missed the essence of whatever they are describing, but they have disroted it in such a fashion that they cannot see it correctly. As long as men believed the earth to be flat, they could not understand its reality, its function, and its actual relationship to other bodies in the universe. As long as men believe their experiences, their viewpoint, and their ideas represent all of human experience and all of human thought, they are not only unable to define correctly in the abstract, but they are unable to describe reality accurately.”

“Ce n'est pas pour cracher dans la soupe, mais il faut être honnête: non, mon amoureux n'est pas parfait. Il ne me viole pas et ne me frappe pas, il fait la vaisselle, passe l'aspirateur et me traite avec le respect que je mérite. C'est ça, être parfait? Ou bien est-ce la moindre des choses? Les standards sont-ils tellement bas que les hommes peuvent s'en tirer à si bon compte?”

“A man needs understanding because he is existentially alone. He stares into the darkness. That was the difference between men and women, Leo thought. Men need groups and gangs and sport and clubs and institutions and women because men know that there is only nothingness and self-doubt. Women were always trying to make a connection, build a relationship. As though one human being could know another.”
