“How was I supposed to know? Locked in the attic, tied to my grandmother. Beaten, beaten, beaten by my drunken father! Of course I'm kidding. Can't you take a joke? Don't you know when a guy's kidding?”

“I was tortured once, I didn't like it. You know what the really fucked up part was? They tore out my left nut. That really turned me off to the whole thing.”

“Mommy and daddy looked a long time to find the perfect boy child, but each one they found turned out bad. Some saw things they weren't supposed to, others heard too much, others talked back.

A.J. Langer - Alice

“All my life I had to fight. I had to fight my daddy. I had to fight my uncles. I had to fight my brothers. A girl child ain't safe in a family of men, but I ain't never thought I'd have to fight in my own house!”
Oprah Winfrey - Sofia

“I love Harpo, God knows I do. But I'll kill him dead 'fo I let him beat me.”
