Quotes by Rita Bullwinkel (?)

“Even when your mother is asking you to do her a favor (be a good girl) it sounds like she is asking you to wear a coat made out of clear plastic. How do words get like that? thinks Rachel. How do words become so gross and synthetic?”
― Rita Bullwinkel, Headshot

“You are no one. No one will ever remember you. You'll die and then you'll be alone and forgotten and people won't have to pretend like you exist anymore, they won't be forced to pretend that your existence matters because your body will be rotted and gone and no one will have to say that you are real.”
― Rita Bullwinkel, Headshot

“Rachel had a theory about other humans: people are the most scared by what makes zero sense to them but that they cannot, no matter how they try, avoid.”
― Rita Bullwinkel, Headshot
