Every travesty that had ever been committed had been committed by plain people and every person had it in them, that fetching, bejeweled thing just beneath the breast that could be removed at will and smashed over another’s head before it was returned to its beating place.

one of the most challenging pieces of literature i’ve ever read—but so necessary and worth it.
