Quotes by James Lowder (?)

“The legends of heroic men protecting helpless women turn out to be lies and, worse, propaganda intended to encourage women to embrace their helplessness.”
― James Lowder, Beyond the Wall: Exploring George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire

“Here’s where PTSD is particularly nasty. It isn’t really a “disorder” as modern medical experts understand it. It’s a shift in perspective. Being forced into Condition Black and being trained to live in Condition Yellow are both highly traumatizing. Both shift your worldview, often permanently. Both become hard-coded into personality, changing the individual in ways they never expected. Sometimes, amazingly enough, for the better.”
― James Lowder, Beyond the Wall: Exploring George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire

“When minority or outcast characters exist in a story solely to teach lessons to members of the majority, it’s just one more way of seeing everything from the majority point of view.”
― James Lowder, Beyond the Wall: Exploring George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire
