“...choose to believe in your own myth your own glamour your own spell a young woman who does this (even if she is just pretending) has everything....”

“Male fantasies, male fantasies, is everything run by male fantasies? Up on a pedestal or down on your knees, it's all a male fantasy: that you're strong enough to take what they dish out, or else too weak to do anything about it. Even pretending you aren't catering to male fantasies is a male fantasy: pretending you're unseen, pretending you have a life of your own, that you can wash your feet and comb your hair unconscious of the ever-present watcher peering through the keyhole, peering through the keyhole in your own head, if nowhere else. You are a woman with a man inside watching a woman. You are your own voyeur.”

“You can't believe everything people tell you - not even if those people are your own brain.”

“You're a shadow. You slip out of your own skin, like molting, shedding your own history and your own future, leaving behind everything you ever were or wanted or believed in.”

“Life's like a movie, write your own ending. Keep believing, keep pretending.”

“Life is a journey that gives you the liberty to draw your own map, and choose your own route.”
