Quote by Michelle Tea

“Did anyone think this canon of druggie men were out of control? Only in the most admirable of ways! Out of control like a shaman or a space explorer, like a magician sawing himself in half. Out of control like a poet.”

“The structural similarity of men, and their ability to be represented both as ideal, like Leonardo's Vitruvian Man, and as average. Man being the measure of all things, and therefore a sort of standard and interchangeable unit of length, breadth, intelligence, emotion. We could lay them end to end to measure the distance between the continents, the distance to the moon. We could use them to calculate the weight of weather, or to buy things at the grocery. With such an abundance of men, we could gauge anything we chose.”

“Эмма Ли была во всех смыслах редким человеком — образованная, утончённая, свободомыслящая (а ведь либертарной литературы она прочла не так уж и много). Она сумела изжить в себе расовые предубеждения южанки. Но больше всего меня восхищало в ней отсутствие какой-либо неприязни к мужчинам. Личная любовная трагедия не ограничила её мировоззрение. Эмма говорила, что мужчины по природе своей глухи к потребностям женщин, даже лучшие из них хотят лишь обладать нами, но вместе с тем они интересные и порой забавные.”

“Don't ever believe that Narcissists don't understand they have hurt you. They know exactly what they did and why they did it. The reason they can't stop their abuse is because the narcissistic supply is their addiction. Unlike, drug addicts that need their fix to feel normal, narcissists need to feel significant. This is their addiction. Even if it takes destructive ways to have this emotional balance they will pursue it. Your feelings don't count only the supply does. The greater the supply the greater the drama in your life as they pursue it. So, get over believing they don't understand. They do understand. You just found out and got in the way of their easy access to greater supply than you.”
