I'm finally reading Dune. This quote, which is in the first few pages, hits hard:
"Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them."
Penelope loves Colin so much that when she had to choose between lying about having feelings for Colin and losing her chance at a life outside an abusive household, she still couldn’t deny her love for him
you either need the patience of a saint or the composure of a dead body to survive in a desi household where every living organism seems to have been put on this ballsack of a life just to ragebait you into killing yourself
