• We remain silent because we've taken on a responsibility and/or shame that was never ours to carry. Forgive yourself for things that were not your fault. Bad decisions, mistaken trust, physical weakness, or too much fear to act do not make an assault on you or someone you care about your fault. Ever.

• A stranger to myself and to the world, armed solely with a thought that negates itself as soon as it asserts, what is this condition in which I can have peace only by refusing to know and to live, in which the appetite for conquest bumps into walls that defy its assaults?

• The worst, the very worst requirement of friendship, in Eve Dallas's opinion, was sitting through an entire evening of childbirth classes. What went on there--the sights, the sounds, the assault on all the senses--turned the blood cold.

• There’s a reason humans peg-out around eighty: prose fatigue. It looks like organ failure or cancer or stroke but it’s really just the inability to carry on clambering through the assault course of mundane cause and effect. If we ask Sheila then we can’t ask Ron. If I have the kippers now then it’s quiche for tea. Four score years is about all the ifs and thens you can take. Dementia’s the sane realisation you just can’t be doing with all that anymore.

• Look, let me just say it: He was hot. A nonhot boy stares at you relentlessly and it is, at best, awkward and, at worst, a form of assault. But a hot boy . . . well.

• I turned over, and those big hands got to work on my back. I stifled a whimper in the pillow, because Marco's idea of a massage bore no resemblance whatsoever to the relaxing spa variety. There was no lavender oil, no soothing music, no hot towels. Just an all-out assault on cramped muscles, until they cowered in surrender and turned to Jell-O.

• El primer acto de violencia que el patriarcado exige a los hombres no es la violencia hacia las mujeres. En su lugar, el patriarcado exige a todos los hombres que participen en actos de automutilación psíquica, que maten las partes emocionales de sí mismos. Si un individuo no consigue mutilarse emocionalmente, puede contar con que los hombres patriarcales promulgarán rituales de poder que agredirán su autoestima.

• Sin also carries on its war by entangling the affections and drawing them into an alliance against the mind. Grace may be enthroned in the mind, but if sin controls the affections, it has seized a fort from which it will continually assault the soul. Hence, as we shall see, mortification is chiefly directed to take place upon the affections.

• Supongo que seré recordado como aburrido. Tímido. Nadie me conocía. La gente venía. Se fueron. Fui amable, creo. No simpático, pero considerado con los demás. Siempre cedía mi lugar en la fila. Prestaba lápices y papel, o dejaba que me los quitaran. Nunca denuncié una agresión sexual.

• Mil veces hoy he empezado a abrir la boca, he empezado a chillar: "¿Puede decirme...? Pero entonces miraba en el asiento delantero, el temblor silencioso de mi madre, el perfil sombrío de mi padre, las bolsas lúgubres bajo sus ojos, y todas las preguntas que podría hacer me parecían abusivas. Asalto y agresión, un signo de interrogación utilizado como un garrote. Mis padres son viejos y frágiles. Tendría que ser un desalmado para querer hacerles daño.

• Los miedos que nos asaltan son, en su mayoría, simples ansiedades sobre las habilidades sociales, la intimidad, la simpatía o el rendimiento. No tenemos por qué darles alimento o carga emocional a estos miedos ni apegarnos a ellos. Ni siquiera tenemos que avergonzarnos de tenerlos. Simplemente pregunta a tus miedos: "¿Qué intentas enseñarme?". Algunos dicen que el MIEDO no es más que un acrónimo de "Evidencia Falsa que Parece Real". De Everything Belongs, p. 143

• The vampire bible, bound in human skin, written in blood, and full of prophecies that were never wrong. Trouble was, if you read the thing too long, it drove you nuts. Not "I'm having a bad day and feel bitchy" nuts or PMS nuts. "I think I'll commit felony assault on my friends and rape my boyfriend" nuts.

• En una relación de noviazgo y noviazgo, no me gustaría que pasaras cinco minutos con alguien que te menosprecia, que te critica constantemente, que es cruel a tu costa y que incluso puede llamarlo humor. La vida ya es bastante dura sin que la persona que se supone que te quiere dirija el asalto a tu autoestima, tu sentido de la dignidad, tu confianza y tu alegría. Al cuidado de esta persona, mereces sentirte físicamente segura y emocionalmente protegida.

• Our skin is provided as adequately as theirs with endurance against the assaults of the weather: witness so many nations who have not yet tried the use of any clothes. Our ancient Gauls wore hardly any clothes; nor do the Irish, our neighbors, under so cold a sky.

• Not only is the statistical madness an assault on individuality, it's also one on temporality too. Statistics - even when accurate - are only an image of the past that can then be Photoshopped before being pasted on to the future.

• All of us cherish our beliefs. They are, to a degree, self-defining. When someone comes along who challenges our belief system as insufficiently well-based - or who, like Socrates, merely asks embarrassing questions that we haven't thought of, or demonstrates that we've swept key underlying assumptions under the rug - it becomes much more than a search for knowledge. It feels like a personal assault.
