“In novels, women run off with their lovers. In real life, women stay.”

“You can love one man and leave another and love a man and still leave him and leave a man without ever loving him, you can fuck everybody you meet or live like a nun and in the end you still wind up at Target.”

“Women who have been disappeared by violence are howling. The voices of disappeared women are echoing. I sing with these voices.”

“Women get boob jobs to give themselves a certain edge. Frankly, I don't see why they nearly kill themselves trying to diet off their equally bulbous hips.”

“Women. Can't live with 'em, can't shoot 'em.”

“If a man says something in the woods and there are no women there, is he still wrong?”
