“I've never really been interested in the vintage photos people pay lots of money for -- civil war tintypes or old daguerrotypes of famous people. Nor do I have any interest in the really gross, dark stuff that some people pay top-dollar, like post-mortem photos of babies (yuck) or press photos of old murder scenes or whatever. I collect in these little niches most other people don't care about -- dark-and-weird-but-fun -- and photos that have been written on, which a lot of sellers think hurts their value.

“I've been called a "baby killer" and I've been told I should die and that I'm ruining women's lives.

“That's the point. Every kind of animal thinks its own kind of animal is wonderful. So people getting married think they're wonderful, and that they're going to have a baby-- that's wonderful, when actually they're as ugly as rhinoceroses. Just because we think we're so wonderful doesn't mean we really are. We could be really terrible animals and just never admit it because it would hurt so much.” PeopleThinkingKindMeanHurtAnimalWonderfulBabyTerribleMarriedUglyGetting MarriedHurt So Much Book:Hocus Pocus Source: Hocus Pocus
“She thought of what it would be like to grow up without the one certainty that every baby deseved - when I'm hurt or cold or scared, someone will come and care for me - and how that absence could warp you so that you'd lash out at the people you loved, driving them away when all you wanted to do was pull them closer.” PeopleWould BeCareWantedGrowsHurtGrowing UpBabyColdScaredAbsenceDrivingCertaintyLashesWarp Book:Little Earthquakes Source: Little Earthquakes
