We can deeply love our poison. We can love the taste of it, the scent of it, the comforting weight of it in our belly and find ourselves woken in the night with stabbing cramps, arms around porcelain toilet bowls, hurling every last bit until collapsing on bathroom tile, limp from dehydration. Sometimes parting with love is essential for survival. I've found the most tragic aspect of losing loved ones wasn't the big boom of the fallout, but realizing later how much healthier I was without them. ~ Maggie Young
Feminist Books quotes by Maggie Young
The liberation of women from exclusive domesticity did not originate in feminist books, or a war, or a big inflation, although they contributed to its progress. The rising enrollment of women in the paid labor force is a straightforward consequence of the industrial revolution of two hundred years ago. ~ Barbara Bergmann
Feminist Books quotes by Barbara Bergmann
Affairs began, drama spread, and traditional, good-old-boy camaraderie was tainted by the temptresses who represented the inconvenience of feminism. ~ Maggie Young
Feminist Books quotes by Maggie Young
Suddenly, the brave warriors parading to combat with bugles and bayonets were replaced by the push of a button. ~ Maggie Young
Feminist Books quotes by Maggie Young
From my first stab at second base, I became obsessively concerned for my vaginal upkeep. I began shaving the day after I felt my first tongue down my throat. The first buzz was a disaster, causing horrifically itchy dull razor breakout that made me look like I made love to a poison ivy bush. Whenever I thought there was a chance of unveiling my privates, I smothered every breakout with the same foundation I used for the occasional teenage acne face breakouts. ~ Maggie Young
Feminist Books quotes by Maggie Young
We never know them well. Do we?"
"Who?"
"Real people."
"What do you mean, real people?"
"As opposed to people in books," Paola explained. "They're the only ones we ever know well. Or know truly. ~ Donna Leon
Feminist Books quotes by Donna Leon
So we may use our books to form a barricade against the world,
interweaving their words with our own to ward off the heat of the day. ~ Peter Ackroyd
Feminist Books quotes by Peter Ackroyd
Helmer: To desert your home, your husband and your children! And you don't consider what people will say!

Nora: I cannot consider that at all. I only know that it is necessary
for me.

Helmer: It's shocking. This is how you would neglect your most sacred duties.

Nora: What do you consider my most sacred duties?

Helmer: Do I need to tell you that? Are they not your duties to your husband and your children?

Nora: I have other duties just as sacred.

Helmer: That you have not. What duties could those be?

Nora: Duties to myself.

Helmer: Before all else, you are a wife and mother.

Nora: I don't believe that any longer. I believe that before all else I am a reasonable human being, just as you are - or, at all events, that I must try and become one. I know quite well, Torvald, that most people would think you right, and that views of that kind are to be found in books; but I can no longer content myself with what most people say, or with what is found in books. I must think over things for myself and get to understand them. ~ Henrik Ibsen
Feminist Books quotes by Henrik Ibsen
A book is a mirror: if an ape looks into it an apostle is hardly likely to look out. ~ Georg Christoph Lichtenberg
Feminist Books quotes by Georg Christoph Lichtenberg
Books do not age as you or I do, they will speak on to generations we will never see. ~ Corrie Ten Boom
Feminist Books quotes by Corrie Ten Boom
I'd actually read the 'Twilight' books and seen the movies, and I was a fan. ~ Judi Shekoni
Feminist Books quotes by Judi Shekoni
Granddad was superstitious about books. He thought that if you had enough of them around, education leaked out, like radioactivity. ~ Terry Pratchett
Feminist Books quotes by Terry Pratchett
I'm really bad at describing my books. Journalists like to have things like "It's The Terminator Meets the Seven Dwarfs." And I can't do that with my books. If I could, I probably wouldn't write them. ~ Charles De Lint
Feminist Books quotes by Charles De Lint
I am always concerned when people, finding out that I am a writer, apologise and say, "I'm not much of a reader actually. I know I ought to, but I just don't seem able to find the time," and then go on to tell me how they feel obliged to finish any book they begin. Well, of course, I say, you will be reluctant to open one in the first place, knowing what it might entail. It isn't meant to be like that, I assure them. If you begin a book and you don't like it, just throw it away. Or take it round to a charity shop. It's like going to a party: some people you linger with, knowing you get on. Some people you exchange greeting with and move on fast. It's nothing against them. They're just not your kind of person. It's the same with books. You must be prepared to discard. And though you may feel it's a waste of money not reading a book you don't get on with, that's like not opening the windows when the weather turns warm for fear of wasting the central heating. So, as I say, now is a good point to abandon the book. You have my permission - even my encouragement. ~ Fay Weldon
Feminist Books quotes by Fay Weldon
Annie laughed. She had a face, a body, made not for a Paris runway but for good meals and books by the fire and laughter. She was constructed from, and for, happiness. But it had taken Annie Gamache a long while to find it. To trust it. ~ Louise Penny
Feminist Books quotes by Louise Penny
I am more famed in Heaven for my works than I could well conceive. In my brain are studies & chambers filled with books & pictures of old, which I wrote and painted in ages of Eternity before my mortal life; and whose works are the delight & study of Archangels. Why, then, should I be anxious about the riches or fame of mortality? ~ William Blake
Feminist Books quotes by William Blake
I suddenly thought about my old girlfriend, the one I had first slept with in my third year of high school. Chills ran through me as I realized how badly I had treated her. I had hardly ever thought about her thoughts or feelings or the pain I had caused her. She was such a sweet and gentle thing, but at the time I had taken her sweetness for granted and later hardly gave her a second thought. What was she doing now? I wondered. And had she forgiven me? ~ Haruki Murakami
Feminist Books quotes by Haruki Murakami
One thing became crystal clear to me when I couldn't see you anymore. I realized that the only way I had been able to survive until then was having you in my life. When I lost you, the pain and loneliness really got to me. ~ Haruki Murakami
Feminist Books quotes by Haruki Murakami
I can't be a rose in any man's lapel. ~ Margaret Trudeau
Feminist Books quotes by Margaret Trudeau
Feminists are in an untenable position, defending something they no longer believe in, and which history will force them to recognize was destructive of most of the central pillars of civilization. I'm just the first one to point it out publicly. ~ Dave Sim
Feminist Books quotes by Dave Sim
Scotland is so gorgeous that every time I'm there, I start to dream of living there. I want to buy one of those whitewashed cottages with the thatch roofs and gaze out at the sea and read my books. I want to be away from the Internet and the news and lawn mowers at 7 A.M. on Sunday mornings. ~ Julia London
Feminist Books quotes by Julia London
Naturally, etiquette books order handwashing before as well as after meals, but the practice also appears, with a frequency that borders on obsession, in poetry. Poets found it hard to describe a banquet or even a meal without affirming that everyone washed their hands. ~ Katherine Ashenburg
Feminist Books quotes by Katherine Ashenburg
... but for now it's too great a pleasure to stay in my own cottage, with my own books, and do exactly what I want to do. ~ Melinda Salisbury
Feminist Books quotes by Melinda Salisbury
You get a little moody sometimes but I think that's because you like to read. People that like to read are always a little fucked up. ~ Pat Conroy
Feminist Books quotes by Pat Conroy
Just write. That's my only tip. And read. I guess that's two. ~ Shannon Celebi
Feminist Books quotes by Shannon Celebi
I walked to the bookcase and examined the storybooks inside. As a girl, I had dreamed of having stacks of books at my disposal
stories to get lost in, other worlds to live in when mine was so bleak. ~ Sarah Jio
Feminist Books quotes by Sarah Jio
A colleague once described political theorists as people who were obsessed with two dozen books; after half a century of grappling with Mill's essay On Liberty, or Hobbes's Leviathan, I have sometimes thought two dozen might be a little on the high side. ~ Alan Ryan
Feminist Books quotes by Alan Ryan
The worn soles of Daffy's boots skidded on the icy stones. He'd been saving up for a new pair for Christmas, but then he'd come across an encyclopaedia in ten volumes, going cheap. Boots might last ten years, at best, but knowledge was eternal. ~ Emma Donoghue
Feminist Books quotes by Emma Donoghue
Books are not only the arbitrary sum of our dreams, and our memory. They also give us the model of self-transcendence. Some people think of reading only as a kind of escape: an escape from the "real" everyday world to an imaginary world, the world of books. Books are much more. They are a way of being fully human. ~ Susan Sontag
Feminist Books quotes by Susan Sontag
I couldn't put it down." - ERIN D ~ Scarlett Avery
Feminist Books quotes by Scarlett Avery
Some things can be fixed. Some things are just too broken. ~ Susan Vaught
Feminist Books quotes by Susan Vaught
On a small table beside his chair were other haphazardly stacked volumes by such poets as Emerson, Whitman, and Wallace Stevens, a dangerous crew to let into your head. ~ Dean Koontz
Feminist Books quotes by Dean Koontz
But Siri knew the slow pace of books and the cadences of theater under the stars. I knew only the stars. ~ Dan Simmons
Feminist Books quotes by Dan Simmons
Because books can take you everywhere! ~ Patricia Paris
Feminist Books quotes by Patricia Paris
Sometimes I forget this insoluble mess and dream: he'll save me, we'll travel; we'll hunt in the deserts, we'll sleep on the pavements of strange cities, carelessly, without his guilt, without my pain. Or else I'm going to wake up and all the human laws and customs of this world will have changed - thanks to some magical power - or this world, without changing, will let me feel desire and be happy and carefree.
What did I want from him who hurt me more than I thought it was possible for two people to hurt each other? I wanted the adventures found in kids' books. He couldn't give me these because he wasn't able to. Whatever did he want from me? I never understood. He told me he was just average: average regrets, average hopes. What do I care about all that average shit that has nothing to do with adventure? ~ Kathy Acker
Feminist Books quotes by Kathy Acker
As a child, I read a great many books in which animals and birds played significant roles, not only in the narrative itself, but also in creating the emotional and psychological atmosphere of that narrative - the imaginative furniture, as it were, in which any story unfolds. ~ John Burnside
Feminist Books quotes by John Burnside
The permanence of all books is fixed by no effort friendly or hostile, but by their own specific gravity, or the intrinsic importance of their contents to the constant mind of man. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Feminist Books quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
So that was why people read. Because books explained things: how you thought, and how you behaved, and made you realise you were not alone in doing what you did or feeling what you felt. ~ Veronica Henry
Feminist Books quotes by Veronica Henry
And now, talking of praying, I realise sadly that there will be little point in praying for you. You are passing now to a region where you will be beyond the reach of the power of prayer. ~ Anthony Burgess
Feminist Books quotes by Anthony Burgess
Growing up, I took so many cues from books. They taught me most of what I knew about what people did, about how to behave. They were my teachers and my advisers. ~ Neil Gaiman
Feminist Books quotes by Neil Gaiman
