“Maybe none of this is about control. Maybe it really isn't about who can own whom, who can do what to whom and get away with it, even as far as death. Maybe it isn't about who can sit and who has to kneel or stand or lie down, legs spread open. Maybe it's about who can do what to whom and be forgiven for it. Never tell me it amounts to the same thing.”
Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid's Tale

"...I was coming to understand some fundamental truths. I finally knew that all of our meanings are put upon us from the outside. There's nothing much inside that belongs to us at the start, or even along the way. We are shaped, time and time again, by luck, the prevailing winds."

"I used to think that bravery involved action. It took courage...to move forward, to pursue a dream, to get ahead in the world. Just to get where you were supposed to. I thought having desire took courage. Now I realize that none of that requires bravery. The only thing you really need bravery for is standing still. For standing by."
