Ironic people always dissolve when confronted with earnestness, it's their kryptonite

Most beautiful, good things were done by women people scorn.

Sometimes if you let people do things to you, you're really doing it to them.

People focus on the darker female characters in my books, but for every one of those, I can also show you an equally screwed up man that no one ever comments about, or a nicer woman that no one comments about.

To refuse has so many more consequences than submitting.

I can't think of anything more crushing than slowly, over time, realizing exactly how wrong you were about someone.

Tampon commercial, detergent commercial, maxi pad commercial, windex commercial - you'd think all women do is clean and bleed.
