Remember the body needs to create too. Beware feeling you're not good enough to deserve it. Beware feeling you're too good to need it. Beware all the hatred you've stored up inside you, and the locks on your tender places.
Audre Lorde, Letter to Pat Parker, 6th December 1985
From Sister Love: The Letters of Audre Lorde and Pat Parker

Remember kids: If you want to become a spider-person, go visit abandoned buildings. In one of them, you'll see a tarantula. It escaped from an Oscorp facility nearby. Bother it until it bites you. Congrats! You have extremely good reflexes, higher strength, a spider-sense, and the ability to shoot webs out of your wrists!

The Silence of the Girls by Pat Barker
Only just finished reading it recently. I think it's a beautiful retelling of Troy (though I haven't read the literature and I'm not sure how much of it was from original stories and how much was changed). It may not be the book I will re-read over and over, but it amazed me so much.
Halfway through the focus of the story seemed to shift from the girls to Achilles and Patroclus, and I was so in love with their relationship (and their interaction with Briseis). I was surprised at how much effort the author spent on that soul-shattering love between Achilles and Patroclus in this feminist perspective story. Then the perspective would be back to Briseis and I felt I was slapped on the face by the contrast between the story of epic, tragic male heroes and the silent, dehumanized female slaves. Perhaps that was what the author strived for. The more I was invested in Achilles' story, the more damage I received when realising I also neglected the voice of women. The book title " The Silence of the Girls" sank into me more and more as the story proceeded. The ending was right. It was Achilles' story, and that was what would be told and remembered. But Briseis did live on, and her story was just about to begin. I don't know what happen to her next, so I took that as a hopeful ending and I quite like it.
(Having said all that, I'm a hypocrite. My favourite thing in this book is still Patrocilles and I'm going to read The Song of Achilles next to see if that's as good as everyone said. )

Quote
I can’t ever remember having enjoyed the presence of anyone so much in my home. You really are a bright light and are perhaps the best person in the world for shaking me out of my propensity for laziness and self-pity. Do you think there’s any way to bottle you so one can simply ingest you when necessary, or is there any way to speed up your move to the West?
Pat Parker to her dear friend Audre Lorde (via monét and mara)
