With all that he and Soh had inherited and were passing down to their daughter, Ed wanted to believe they had equipped their child with everything she would need to find her way in this life.
“Beliefs are assumptions or conclusions; values are the parts of life that bring a person meaning. Beliefs reflect what you think of the world; values reveal more about yourself. Confusing these two can be dangerous business. When someone attaches their self-worth to a belief—political, personal, or otherwise—they desperately need to be right. Challenges to what they think feel like threats to how they think—evidence they aren’t smart or good enough. The person screaming loudest is often most fearful of being wrong.”

“whether I liked it or not, whether I chose to stifle it or shout it from the rooftops, I saw everything through the lens of rape. It’s still the case today: Even though now there are lulls when I can think about other things, even though it’s not always about that, often it still is. In that sense he won and there’s nothing I can do about it. Damaged for life.”

“It’s always wide open for a child. A child cannot open or close the door of consent. The handle is simply not within reach.”
