They can give us a language to explain ourselves and our hearts better. And they can help us find community and develope a sense of belonging. I mean, if you didn't have the correct label for your OCD, you wouldn't be able to get the treatment you need, right?"
"Approach and embrace the bitterness. Look it in the eye and give it all you have, your tears, your fears, your anger. Then release it like a breath you've held for too long. Remember the good things."
"I'd pretended I was fine, pretended I'd moved on, but the truth was, the past was still open inside of me, like a half-cracked door, because it was a raw, unhealed wound."
"No one tells women that none of it is their fault. That the blame falls squarely on the awful men who do terrible things and the fucked-up society that raises them, molds them, makes excuses for them. People don‘t want to admit that there are monsters in their midst, so the monsters continue to roam free and the cycle of violence and blame continues."

"That again. What it always comes down to. You couldn't understand. You're not a mother. You've never experienced love, not really. You don't have it inside of you, whatever it is, the capacity for limitless, unconditional love. The capacity for unbounded hatred, either."

"Women aren‘t rehab centers for emotionally stunted man-babies who think the key to a serious relationship is to just wait for the right woman to come along. You have to be ready to be uncomfortable, to stretch yourself, to be vulnerable."

"Peyton, I'm not going to sit here and pity you; you know that's not my style. Shit happens. Men leave. Jobs go away. People mess up. In your case it seems like you nailed all four. But so what? No one is dead, thank god, spit three times. And you're a fighter, just like I am. It might take a little while, but everything's going to be fine"
"With heightened awareness of cultural sensitivity comes great responsibility. If we‘re not careful, ‘diversity‘ might become an item people start checking off a list and nothing more—a shallow, shadowy thing with but one dimension"
"Two people realize that it's no longer an act when they veer off-script"
"Women are expected to absorb traumas both subtle and loud and move on. Shoulder the weight of the world. But when the world fucks with us, the worst thing we can do is bury it. Embracing it makes us strong enough to fuck the world right back."
