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

“Sacrifice is a stupid thing that women do.
Don't do it.
The men don't notice.
And all the women around you spend their lives mopping you up.
So you're only making more work for the women who'll have to repair you.
That's more than a warning.
It is an order.
Be prepared to be unpopular.”
Anakana Schofield, Bina

“Sad and glad, her strange combination.”
Anakana Schofield, Malarky

“It's beautiful when it all makes sense, so it is. Occasionally it makes sense, just for a moment.”
Anakana Schofield, Malarky
