not your average duchess
Claire: You know, the only thing I remember from Sunday school is the martyrs… the saints, the saviors… they all end up the same way. Bloody and alone.
Matt: I never said I was any of those.
Claire: You didn’t have to.

I don’t think I’ve ever properly been in love. I’ve had a few girlfriends and have liked them loads, but I’m not sure it was love. Luke Pasqualino x
Happy holidays, tumblr. >:)
Hi guys, this tumblr won’t be updated for a while. I’ll miss all the beauty, intelligence and righteous anger that is my dash, but for now I need to focus on other things. If you really want me to see something or get in touch (if we’re not in touch otherwise), please use my askbox, I’ll be checking it from time to time. Be good to yourselves and I’ll catch you later, okay?
Away for more than a week to Cornwall. Will try not to drown in mud. Probz no WiFi. Don’t burn the internetz down while I’m away. <3
There have been so few novels about women who have intense friendships with other women. Why do you think that is?
MORRISON
It has been a discredited relationship. When I was writing Sula, I was under the impression that for a large part of the female population a woman friend was considered a secondary relationship. A man and a woman’s relationship was primary. Women, your own friends, were always secondary relationships when the man was not there. Because of this, there’s that whole cadre of women who don’t like women and prefer men. We had to be taught to like one another. Ms. magazine was founded on the premise that we really have to stop complaining about one another, hating, fighting one another and joining men in their condemnation of ourselves—a typical example of what dominated people do. That is a big education."
