“The default assumption tends to be that it is politically important to designate everyone as beautiful, that it is a meaningful project to make sure that everyone can become, and feel, increasingly beautiful. We have hardly tried to imagine what it might look like if our culture could do the opposite—de-escalate the situation, make beauty matter less.”

“A woman is unruly if anyone has incorrectly decided that she’s too much of something, and if she, in turn, has chosen to believe that she’s just fine.”

“how the internet is built to distend our sense of identity; second, how it encourages us to overvalue our opinions; third, how it maximizes our sense of opposition; fourth, how it cheapens our understanding of solidarity; and, finally, how it destroys our sense of scale.”

“Misschien moeten we bezoedelen, smeuren en ranzen. Dat is tenslotte wie we zijn. Gooi mest op je levenspad en zet er kleine gekleurde kaarsjes in die je mag uitblazen. Wens maar dat alles stuk gaat. Wens jezelf weg. Dan hoef je niet te zorgen dat de verf op je smoel blijft zitten als je lacht. Als je je tanden wilt laten schitteren schuur ze dan kapot. Schoonheid is een laagje over troep. Stilte is je oren dicht voor herrie en rust is verzonnen stilte. Alles schreeuwt door. Liefde is haat met kusjes. Zachtheid krijg je door te boenen met een staalborstel tot het bloed eruit spat.”
