Virginie Despentes Quote: “Carlito always used to say teenagers don’t start drugs because they taste good, or because the kids are bored, or because they want to forget their problems, or because of their hormones, no, they get high to destroy their intelligence.

Virginie Despentes Quote: “Waking into a room, checking whether there are men in it, wanting to please them. Not talking to loud. Not being forceful. Not sitting with your legs splayed to be more comfortable. Not speaking with authority. Not talking about money. Not wanting a position of authority. Not seeking glory. Not laughing too loud. Not being too funny. Pleasing men is a complex art, which requires that one should eliminate anything remotely concerned with power.”

Virginie Despentes Quote: “But he never makes a call to ask for help. He cannot put his finger on precisely what is stopping him. He has had time to think about it. It remains an enigma. He scoured the internet in search of advice for pathological procrastinators. He drew up lists of what he had to lose, what he would be risking, and what he had to gain. It made no difference. He calls no-one.”

Virginie Despentes Quote: “When I was hospitalized at the age of fifteen, the psychiatrist asked me why I had made myself so ugly. I thought he had nerve asking me that, since I thought I looked pretty damn cool with red spiky hair, black lips, white lace tights, and outsize army boots. He insisted, was I afraid of being pretty? He said that I had such lovely eyes.”

Virginie Despentes Quote: “Without children, you will never be fulfilled as a woman, but bringing up kids in decent conditions is almost impossible: It is essential that women feel like failures – that they be made to feel as if they’ve mad the wrong choice. We are held responsible for failures that are collective and cross-gender. The weapons used against our gender are specific, but the method can be applied to men too. A good consumer is an insecure consumer.”

Virginie Despentes Quote: “Life is often a game of two halves: in the first half it lulls you, makes you think you’re in control; in the second, when it sees you’re relaxed and helpless, it comes around again and grinds you to a pulp.”

Virginie Despentes Quote: “When the collective unconscious – via instruments of power such as the media and the entertainment industry – overestimates motherhood, it is neither out of love for the feminine nor general kindness. The all-virtuous mother prepares the collective body for fascist regression. Power bestowed by a sick state is suspect by nature.”

Virginie Despentes Quote: “I am not saying that being a woman is in itself a painful constraint. Some women do it very well. It’s the obligation which is degrading. Of course the great seductresses are right up there in terms of reputation. Figure skaters are pretty cool, too – but no one expects us all to be figure skaters. Horsewomen have their own special charm – but you don’t get given a saddle and bridle the moment you want to exist.”

Virginie Despentes Quote: “After several years of genuine, sincere, and rigorous research, I have come to the conclusion that femininity is the same thing as bootlicking. The art of servility. You can call it seduction to make it sound glamorous. But it is very rarely a skilled sport. For the majority of women, it’s the simple habit of behaving as an inferior.”
