Quotes by Howard Swindle  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Sex taken violently under threat is an emotional train wreck that derails not only the law but, more importantly, the sanctity of the soul. Rape strips its victim of her power to make determinations about perhaps the single most intrinsic value in her existence: the right to share intimacy. That loss of control and power of self-determination is a scar on the soul, a pox on the spirit. (58)”
Howard Swindle, Trespasses: Portrait of a Serial Rapist

“There are...emotions, traumas, and transitions in every family that faces don't reflect and film doesn't capture. (255)”
Howard Swindle, Trespasses: Portrait of a Serial Rapist
