Quotes by Elizabeth Macneal (?)

“This is what the girls felt, she thinks, those seized by pedlars in the lanes. Pinned down like moths, like squids on rocks. This is the fight women have always fought, their soft bodies turned to battlegrounds, slim bones crushed beneath the solid weight of men.”
― Elizabeth Macneal, Circus of Wonders

“He wonders if everyone else feels as immortal as he does. He has too many thoughts, too many ideas, too many ambitions merely to die.”
― Elizabeth Macneal, Circus of Wonders
