“Never let anyone dull your edges. The world will never be your blade. You must be your own.”
“It has been said, 'time heals all wounds.' I do not agree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind, protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessens. But it is never gone.”

“I never needed a Man. I needed a Viking. I needed someone who wasn't afraid of my strengths, or of my needs. I chose wrong... in the past. I thought I had to find someone who could put up with my hunger for life. But I was so damn wrong. I needed a Viking. I needed someone who would admire all the things about me that tepid men were intimidated by.”

“She's telling her story...
Because what happened to her killed her self-esteem and stole her worthiness. It made her believe she was ugly and unlovable. It riddled her with shame and guilt, and more than anything, it buried who she really was. She wants to know who that is, before she dies, because since the day she was born, she'd been wondering who she'd discover when the pain was gone.”

“Everyone wants a strong woman
until she actually stands up,
flexes her muscles,
projects her voice
Suddenly, she is too much.
She has forgotten her place.
You love those women
as ideas, fantasies
Not as breathing, living humans
threatening to be even better
than you could ever be.”
