“But what Ianthe and Tamlin had said... 'You don't think it sends a bad message if people see me learning to fight- using weapons?'

The moment the words were out, I realised the stupidity of them. The stupidity of- of what had been shoved down my throat these past months.

Silence. Then Mor said with a soft venom that made my understand the High Lord's Third had received training of her own in the Court of Nightmares, 'Let me tell you two things. As someone who has perhaps been in your shoes before.' Again, that shared bond of anger, of pain throbbed between them all, save for Amren, who was giving me a look dripping with distaste. 'One,' Mor said, 'you have left the Spring Court.' I tried not to let the full weight of those words sink in. 'If that does not send a message, for good or bad, then your training will not, either. Two,' she continued, laying her palm flat on the table, 'I once lived in a place where the opinion of others mattered. It suffocated me, nearly broke me. So you'll understand me, Feyre, when I say that I know what you feel, and I know what they tried to do to you, and that with enough courage, you can say to help with a reputation.' Her voice gentled, and the tension between them all faded with it. 'You do what you love, what you need.'

Mor would not tell me what to wear or not wear. She would not allow me to step aside while she spoke for me. She would not... would not do any of the things that I had so willingly, desperately, allowed Ianthe to do

I had never had a female friend before. Ianthe... she had not been one. Not in the way that mattered, I realised. And Nesta and Elain, in those few weeks I'd been at home before Amarantha, had started to fill that role, but... but looking at Mor, I couldn't explain it, couldn't understand it, but... I felt it. Like I could indeed go to dinner with her. Talk to her.

Not that I had much of anything to offer her in return.”
― Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Mist and Fury

“A cornucopia of bullies and harassers and people laughing at you made bitterness and cynicism easy. Natural, even. Raina knew how tempting it was to fall into the arms of self-pity. So she went in search of better. Her subscribers, her community, the little niche she'd carved out for herself— it was a pure antidote to the venom.
The only catch was, to find that, she had to choose peace. She had to choose nuance. She had to choose to have hope.”
― Elle McNicoll, Unapologetic Love Story

“Sometimes, as an autistic woman, doing normal things that other women did all the time made her feel like an imposter.
“I listen to your show,” Zailey said from the floor, a quiet admission as she pulled all the layers of the skirt out so it was showing off its full volume.
Raina froze. “Really?”
“Yes. I’m in my fifties now so I was never diagnosed. Never will be, I suppose. But… well. Anyway, I love to listen. You make me feel a bit more human. If that makes sense. My daughter helps me catch them on the computer.”
“Thank you so much,” Raina breathed, feeling her whole body tighten with emotion. “That means a lot.”
They both caught each other’s eye in the mirror, and Raina’s face almost crumpled. It was always harder to pretend around other autistic women.”
― Elle McNicoll, Unapologetic Love Story
