“It was indescribable what she wanted. She was restless. She wanted to work. She wanted to be thirty people. She wanted to wear a cap of pearls and a coat of bright blue diamonds. To live as nature does, in many ages, in many brains”
Danielle Dutton, Margaret the First

“Yet why must grammar be like a prison for the mind? Might not language be as a closet full of gowns? Of a generally similar cut, with a hole for the head and neck to pass, but filled with difference and a variety of trimmings so that we don't grow bored?”
Danielle Dutton, Margaret the First

“Yet how hard it is to point to a moment. To say: there, in that moment, I changed.”
Danielle Dutton, Margaret the First
