“Maybe it was actually an unspoken instant agreement between the four women on the balcony: No woman should pay for the accidental death of that particular man. Maybe it was an involuntary, atavistic response to thousands of years of violence against women. Maybe it was for every rape, every brutal backhanded slap, every other Perry that had come before this one.”

— Liane Moriarty, Big Little Lies

“I resent you for the childhood I had. I resent you for your impatience for being scared of doing my homework without being yelled at. For all the kitchen cabinet doors you slammed, for slapping me, for all the bruises. I resent you for not feeling safe at home. I resent you for being ashamed of me. I resent you for all the sex I started to have when I was 13 to prove to myself that I could be loved. I resent you for my wanting to beat the shit out of everyone. I resent you for making me feel so fucking worthless.” Big Little Lies (S02E06)
