Are we true to ourselves or do we live for the expectations of others?
the greatest weapon anyone can use against us is our own mind.
when deception cuts this deep, someone has to pay.
and if we are open and honest, can we ever truly be loved?
Who honors those we love for the very life we live? Who sends monsters to kill us…and at the same time sings that we’ll never die? Who teaches us what’s real…and how to laugh at lies? Who decides why we live and what we’ll die to defend? Who chains us…and who holds the key that can set us free? It’s you. You have all the weapons you need. Now fight!
Ellen: I did want to ask you one question.
Patty: What’s that?
Ellen: It’s career advice, really. You’ve accomplished everything you set out to do. Is it worth it?
Patty: [long pause]
Ellen: I’ll see you, Patty. [walks away]
Taking power away from a man is a dangerous thing. Someone always pays.
It’s a little bit horrifying just how quickly everything can fall to crap. Sometimes it takes a huge loss to remind you of what you care about the most. Sometimes you find yourself becoming stronger as a result, wiser, better equipped to deal with the next big disaster that comes along. Sometimes, but not always.
Well, at some point, the truth is gonna have to come out.
Humiliation: it’s not always something we can avoid. We may have wives who insult our masculinity. We may take jobs we feel are beneath us. We may have boyfriends who make us feel old. Yes, there are all sorts of ways to be humiliated in life. But the surest way to get your dignity back is to get what you’ve been waiting for.
Bree: I feel like one of those clichés people make fun of: the desperate, predatory divorcée.
Renee: You mean like me?
Bree: Well, yeah.
Renee: Do you know why people make fun of us? They’re jealous, because we still have the guts to go after what we want.
