Getting Through Quotes

“As men obsessed with the idea that all knowledge lies within a woman's body, but having entered it to find themselves as ignorant as before, they are driven towards all women again and again: in childish hope that somehow the next time they will find the treasure, and then the equally childish desire for revenge since it cannot be found, that knife in the unfathomable entrails; and they grow full of hatred.”
― John McGahern

“We all do what we need to survive.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire
