Virginia Woolf
“Moreover, in a hundred years, I thought, reaching my own doorstep, women will have ceased to be the protected sex. Logically they will take part in all the activities and exertions that were once denied them. The nursemaid will heave coal. The shop-woman will drive an engine. All assumptions founded on the facts observed when women were the protected sex will have disappeared—as, for example (here a squad of soldiers marched down the street), that women and clergymen and gardeners live longer than other people. Remove that protection, expose them to the same exertions and activities, make them soldiers and sailors and engine-drivers and dock labourers, and will not women die off so much younger, so much quicker, than men that one will say, “I saw a woman today,” as one used to say, “I saw an aeroplane.” Anything may happen when womanhood has ceased to be a protected occupation,”
Virginia Woolf, A Room Of One's Own: The Virginia Woolf Library Authorized Edition

Charlotte McConaghy
“Only quiet is a different beast when it finds you. A perfect kind of thing until you have it and it turns on you.”
Charlotte McConaghy, Migrations

Hanya Yanagihara
“Relationships never provide you with everything. They provide you with some things. You take all you want from a person - sexual chemistry, let's say, or good conversation, or financial support, or intellectual compatibility, or niceness, or loyalty - and you get to pick three of them.”
Hanya Yanagihara, A Little Life

Alice Sebold
“Our only kiss was like an accident- a beautiful gasoline rainbow.”
Alice Sebold, The Lovely Bones

E. Lockhart
“He didn’t believe in God anymore and yet he still wished that God would help him.”
E. Lockhart, We Were Liars
