“I don’t know her like you do. She said you think of death, and yet she strikes me as someone afraid of dying. She lives as though she’s running out of time. There’s a desperation about her. Even now, when the long shadow of death is gone, she fears it. And you’re the opposite. You fear living. A pity. You’d be so good at it.”
― Rachel Harrison, So Thirsty

“A throne was a kind of weapon by which the world was cut into two halves: the dead and the kneeling.”

“This is why I write, I do it for the alchemy. I cannot just experience things. This is how I experience things.”

“No wonder Medusa’s name means ‘ruler’ or ‘guardian’. She is dual in her nature, both a monster and a protector. Indeed, Medusa is made up of dualities. She is beautiful and hideous, one of a trinity and yet alone. She is the mother of two mythological creatures, but also the slayer of one. She is most powerful after death, a death which occurs only because she was temporarily powerless in sleep.”
― Natalie Haynes, Pandora's Jar: Women in the Greek Myths
