“Thinking yourself uniquely terrible is its own form of narcissism.”
Sophie Mackintosh, The Water Cure

“Refrain of the man, universal: This is not my fault!
See also: I absolve myself of responsibility.
And: I never said that. You can't take the actions of my body as words.
Sophie Mackintosh, The Water Cure

“There is a fluidity to his movements, despite his size, that tells me he has never had to justify his existence, has never had to fold himself into a hidden thing, and I wonder what that must be like, to know that your body is irreproachable.”
Sophie Mackintosh, The Water Cure
