Gratitude never radicalized anybody. I don't care if they recognize the past, I just want them to get angry about the present and keep going.

Image
I did not see any way that I could possibly give birth to someone else and also give birth to myself. Far from feeling guilty, it was the first time that I had taken responsibility for my own life.

There is no such thing as a crime of passion, only a crime of possession.

She is a water bug on the surface of life.
