"з одного боку, я не те щоб люблю безсюжетні тексти, героїні яких розвалюються на шматки і нема на то ради. а з другого, хіба можна покинути книжку, де в кожному другому абзаці отаке: Agnes cultivated a look of old Hollywood, starving her curvy frame into an hourglass. Ruth loved old movies too. She was nostalgic for a past in which she didn’t exist." — Jan 10, 2022 09:45PM

verbava’s Quotes

“Feel free to start using Walter Jackson Freeman II as an insult directed toward people you hate. Almost no one will get the reference, but if I am in the room we’ll high-five and it will be awesome.”

“We’re stretched thin, all of us; we vibrate; we quiver, we’re always on the alert. Reign of terror, they used to say, but terror does not exactly reign. Instead it paralyzes. Hence the unnatural quiet.”
― Margaret Atwood, The Testaments

“Diseases don’t ruin lives just because they rot off noses. They destroy people if the rest of society isolates them and treats them as undeserving of help and respect.”
― Jennifer Wright, Get Well Soon: History's Worst Plagues and the Heroes Who Fought Them

“Whenever someone casually refers to “the history of civilization” in a way that does not jibe with the history of civilization as I extensively, constantly, read about it, I like to research their favorite books to see where they are getting their information. In most of these cases all their favorite books have titles like Christmas, Guns, and Integrity.”
― Jennifer Wright, Get Well Soon: History's Worst Plagues and the Heroes Who Fought Them
