Joanna Russ
“Scholars don't usually sit gasping and sobbing in corners of the library stacks.
But they should. They should.”
Joanna Russ, On Strike Against God

Hanya Yanagihara
“He now viewed a successful relationship as one in which both people had recognized the best of what the other person had to offer and had chosen to value it as well.”
Hanya Yanagihara, A Little Life
