orangerful: (one girl // orangerful)
Found my book o' quotes. Most of them are from tv shows, movies, and then random "quote of the day" emails my mom forwards me BUT there are a few quotes from actual BOOKS that I have read and then made a point to write down so I will share then now:

Love doesn't just sit there, like a stone, it has to be made, like bread; remade all the time, made new. When it was made, they lay in each other's arms, holding love, asleep.
- from "The Lathe of Heaven" by Ursula K. Leguinn

"What are you doing with that spork?"
"Well, when we find some bad guys, I'm going to spork the fuck out of them!"

- from "Dirty Job" by Christopher Moore

All your life you live so close to truth it becomes a permanent blur in the corner of your eye. And when something nudges it into outline, it's like being ambushed by the grotesque.
- from "Rosezencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead" by Tom Stoppard

I think that life is far too important a thing ever to talk seriously about it."
- from "Lady Windermere's Fan" by Oscar Wilde

After sitting and cooling down a bit, I was about to post a redaction of the "this makes me rage" post because of the issue with the quotes being taken out of context in the magazine, the images itself out of context from the magazine, the issue of public shaming etc..

Then my friend pointed out that the clips were from J-14 Magazine and I changed my mind. Because I didn't really care if they were from a magazine for adults, adults who have already made up their minds about feminism so who cares, but the fact that the "I'm not a feminist" quotes were from a magazine targeted towards 14 year old girls makes me upset. Unless there is a page opposite that says "I am a feminist" and has out of context quotes from Emma Watson and Taylor Swift. I mean, maybe this was a full spread on the issues...in J-14...yeah I'm doubting that but MAYBE!

Equal opportunity labeling.
