“You Don’t Have to Be Pretty. You don’t owe prettiness to anyone. Not
to your boyfriend/spouse/partner, not to your co-workers, especially
not to random men on the street. You don’t owe it to your mother, you
don’t owe it to your children, you don’t owe it to civilization in
general. Prettiness is not a rent you pay for occupying a space marked
‘female’.”
- Diana Vreeland
