To Pretend Quotes

She knows too well what it’s like to tamp down your natural inclinations, to force a smile when you feel numb... The expression of emotion does not come naturally, so yo learn to fake it. To pretend.

Nothing is important... so everything is important Picture Quote #1

I wanted to acknowledge that if people don’t have a sex life, it’s not for some moral reason, it’s just because they’re ugly. Once you’ve said it,it sounds obvious, but I wanted to say it Picture Quote #1

The social scientist is in a difficult, if not impossible position. On the one hand there is the temptation to see all of society as one’s autobiography writ large, surely not the path to general truth.

There is a comfort in knowing that you don’t have to pretend anymore, that you are going to do everything within your power to heal Picture Quote #1

I’m very proud of being a woman, and as a woman, I don’t even like the word feminism because when I hear that word, I associate it with women trying to pretend to be men, and I’m not interested in trying to pretend to be a man.
