“I did not come into existence when he harmed me. She found her voice! I had a voice, he stripped it, left me groping around blind for a bit, but I always had it. I just used it like I never had to use it before. I do not owe him my success, becoming, he did not create me. The only credit Brock can take is for assaulting me, and he could never even admit to that.”
― Chanel Miller, Know My Name

“Misery spreads out from a murder in ripples, blighting everything it touches.”

― Sue Klebold, A Mother's Reckoning: Living in the Aftermath of Tragedy
