Patrícia Melo
“And the tense little smile that lingered on my face seemed to fire his eyes with a wild gleam, like you see in dogs before they attack. Until that moment, I'd never been hit before.”
Patrícia Melo, The Simple Art of Killing a Woman

Samuel R. Delany
“Statistically, you've got a better chance of going to Hollywood and becoming a superstar in the movies than you do of becoming a successful writer.”
Samuel R. Delany

Patrícia Melo
“There's nothing easier than learning to hate women. There is no shortage of teachers. Fathers teach it, the state teaches it, the legal system teaches it, the market teaches it, and culture, and propaganda.”
Patrícia Melo, The Simple Art of Killing a Woman

Patrícia Melo
“Death has been kind to me, I thought. I haven't been run over by a lorry. I haven't fallen to a stray bullet. I have not been hastened toward death—rather, death has only dreamed of me; it has only knocked at my door. Tap, tap, tap. "I'm thinking of coming for you tonight at nightfall," death had said.”
Patrícia Melo, The Simple Art of Killing a Woman

Patrícia Melo
“You never imagine that a guy like this, a Wittgenstein reader and yoga fan, will hit you in the face at a lawyers’ New Year’s Eve party. But the statistics show that it happens a lot. And that lots of men don’t stop at a slap. They’d actually rather kill you.”
Patrícia Melo, The Simple Art of Killing a Woman
