Fay Weldon
“Take me! Well, not quite take me, love me now, take me eventually”
Fay Weldon

Chuck Palahniuk
“We don’t have a great war in our generation, or great depression, but we do, we have a great war of the spirit. We have a great revolution against culture. The great depression is our lives. We have a spiritual depression.”
“We have to show these men and women freedom by enslaving them, and show them courage by frightening them.”
Chuck Palahniuk, Fight Club
