“Why do women waste their time trying to convince their insecure family members and girlfriends that they are beautiful? Self esteem is not a beauty cream that you can rub all over them and see instant results. Instead, convince them they are not stupid. Every intelligent woman knows outward beauty is a nip, tuck, chemical peel or diet away. If you don't like it, fix it.”

“Father didn't expect us to sew,
or play with dolls like other girls.

and encouraged us to read.
He taught us independence is admirable,
and imagination indispensable.”
Lita Judge, Mary's Monster: Love, Madness, and How Mary Shelley Created Frankenstein

Chloe Neill, Wild Hunger
